Scratch Repair Services
Types of scratches we repair
Scuffs/ Swirl marks
These are typically superficial surface marks that affect only the clear coat. These can be resolved using a polishing compound, allowing you to wait while the work is completed.
Light Scratches
Light scratches penetrate both the clear coat and the paint layer. Repairing these scratches requires paintwork, and depending on their location, adjacent panels may need to be blended for a seamless finish.
Deeper Abrasions
Deeper abrasions occur when a scratch penetrates all layers, including the primer, exposing the underlying metal or plastic. Timely repair is essential to prevent the damage spreading or rust forming over time.

We offer flexible repair options, through insurance or privately, to suit your needs. If you’d like to preserve your no-claim bonus or are uninsured, we can arrange a private repair.
Depending on your excess amount and the extent of the damage, some minor scratch and dent repairs may cost less than your excess, making an insurance claim unnecessary.
Our team will guide you to the best option based on your circumstances. Submit photos of your vehicle damage for an initial assessment:

“Only complaint is that there’s not enough Francesco and his team around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My car was broken into, not only did they smash my window, they’d tried using a crowbar or some sort to pry open the door leaving damages to the roof and inner panels. Initially it looked like a simple repair job, instead, Francesco and the team replaced everything with brand new and genuine parts because he wasn’t able to accept any defects at the end of the job. Every seam and glass were replaced with only new and genuine parts. Colour matching paint mix etc. It felt like a brand new car on completion. The attention to details is immaculate and the service is 110%. They’ve updated me on the process of the car at every step, when they had started repairing, when they had started painting and when the job was done. Constant communication and job completion is at another level. No one will regret requesting their car to be repaired by Dynamic Autobody. If you are looking, look no further. Sunny”

“My car went in for repair with the team at dynamic in jan 25. The communications from the team through the entire “not at fault”process was excellent, and they have exceptionally high standards. My car has been returned and the repairs and paint job are A+. We are fussy about keeping our cars looking nice and this absolutely met our standards. Although I hope I don’t need car repair work soon I know if I do I will be returning to the dynamic team. Highly recommend.”

“I had a minor car accident and always use Dynamic Autobody as my RAC preferred service company. Francesco was very helpful, courteous, and efficient. I really like the texts giving updates on the car's progress through the repair stages. My car was finished 3 days earlier than estimated and looked great. Francesco also does a final inspection with the client before handover. Wouldn't think about going anywhere else. Highly recommended!”

After 10 discussions/quotes from other panel and paint shops in Perth it was AQPP who got my business.

If you have comprehensive insurance, you can claim the repair costs through your insurance, regardless of fault. We recommend reviewing your policy documents to understand your coverage and any exclusions.
Yes, sometimes. This is dependent on the value of your excess and the extent/nature of repair needed. Superficial scratches, require less repair and restoration work and can be fixed lower than your insurance excess. After assessing your vehicle damage, we can recommend if this is possible.
Due to the numerous factors involved, such as vehicle make, model, color, and the nature and extent of any damage, we cannot rely on verbal descriptions to provide a quote. Our Vehicle damage analysts need to visually assess your vehicle's damage. To make this process easier and give you the best service, simply submit your vehicle photos and details through our convenient online assessment tool:
Beyond preserving your vehicle's aesthetic appeal, fixing scratches is essential to prevent deeper issues. Left unaddressed, deeper scratches can lead to paint flaking and rust formation over time.
The cost will depend on the type of scratch and the number of panels affected.
Superficial scuffs and minor scratches may fall below your insurance excess, making a claim unnecessary. However, if the scratches expose the metal or plastic underneath, or if multiple panels are affected, repairs will likely exceed your excess. Once we’ve assessed the damage, we can recommend the best course of action.
While many DIY scratch repair kits claim to fix minor scratches, they often result in a subpar finish. These kits can make the affected area more noticeable due to unblended edges and mismatched colours, ultimately diminishing your vehicle’s appearance and value. For the best results, we recommend consulting with our team before making a decision. In many cases, repairing the original scratch professionally can be quicker, easier, and more cost-effective than attempting to undo the poor results from a repair kit.
Yes, you can still nominate Dynamic Autobody as your ‘chosen repairer’ for smash repairs. Most insurers provide a ‘choice of repairer’ option which allows you to select a reputable repairer you trust for your vehicle repairs.
While your insurance may suggest a "preferred repairer," you are not obligated to choose them. A preferred repairer is one that has an agreement with the insurance company, which helps streamline workflow in exchange for lower repair invoices. However, this arrangement can lead to tighter budgets and rushed timelines, potentially compromising repair quality and safety. It’s essential to select your own repairer to ensure the quality of repairs, the safety of you and your family, and the resale value of your vehicle.
We can assist with both. Our services can be funded either through your insurance or handled privately. We can help you determine which option is best for your situation based on the type and extent of the damage.
If you prefer to maintain your no-claim bonus or are uninsured, we can facilitate a private repair. However, we strongly recommend having comprehensive car insurance to protect yourself from significant out-of-pocket expenses. With vehicles becoming increasingly complex, including features like sensors and driver assist technology (ADAS), the cost of a new bumper alone can exceed several thousand dollars, even before painting and installation.
For an initial assessment of your vehicle please submit your vehicle photos via our online tool:
You may feel inclined to consider the other driver’s out-of-pocket expenses, especially if they are unable to afford them. This might lead them to ask you for multiple quotes, requiring your time and effort to drive around and organise assessments for an incident that wasn’t your fault. They may then attempt to choose the cheapest repair option, but how can you guarantee the quality and safety of those repairs?
Remember, as a not-at-fault driver, you have no obligation to the other driver. Your priority should be to you and your family, ensuring your vehicle is repaired correctly and safely.
It is always advisable and considered best practice to lodge a claim through your own insurance and designate your chosen repairer. This approach ensures the best outcome and safest repairs for both you and your vehicle while also preserving its resale value.
You can have the utmost confidence knowing our workmanship carries a lifetime warranty. The vehicle paint and OEM parts we use carry their own individual manufacturer guarantees which extend to you.
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique serial number that allows us to accurately identify your vehicle. This ensures that the repair methods and parts are appropriately matched, resulting in precise quotes.
The VIN number is typically located on a small metal plaque under the hood in the engine bay, on the driver’s or passenger side door jambs, or on your vehicle’s registration paperwork.
