Protect your car from rust

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside., oh we do like to be beside the sea… unless you want to protect your vehicle, that is.  Salt is an extremely damaging substance to vehicles and a major cause of rust, so if you live somewhere near the sea then you’re more susceptible to rust damage.  Similarly, during the winter the salt used to melt ice and snow has the same effect.

Small rusting which has not penetrated the whole panel but is to be found only on the surface can normally be dealt with at home. Just vigorously rub sandpaper about it and then coat it with epoxy primer. Epoxy has long been identified to have anti-corrosive properties. In fact, epoxy coating has been employed to avoid timber rot in boats. However, the more severe the rust problem the more likely you will need some professional help.

Despite advances made in technologies to produce corrosion resistant resources and undercoats, far more money is spent on rust management than collision fixes.  It is vital to go to the correct car body repair shop so that the car bodywork repairs carried out have a professional stamp.

Jack Frost is on his way

If last year is anything to go by then we could be in for more snow, ice, and hazardous driving conditions.  Should you be unfortunate enough to be involved in a bump or scrape it’s not the end of the world.  No longer will a repair cost an arm and a leg, at least not if you’re SMART.

SMART stands for Small Medium Area Repair Technique, these techniques are well known to car dealers and traders and used to repair all types of dent, scratches and scuffs at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional repair.

The main reason SMART repairs are so more cost effective is that SMART repair technicians carry a full paint scheme in their van, allowing them to mix the exact paint colour on the spot allowing a smaller area to be painted. Most people are aware a paint code is stamped on their car however for each code there can be a number of different variants, a smart repairer will paint the exact colour to keep the repair nice and small whereas your traditional bodyshop will use a standard shade and blend out to minimise the colour difference.

Local company SCUFFS ‘N’ SCRATCHES  offer a full SMART repair service.  They offer great body shop repairs at a fraction of the time or cost.  Whether it’s a dent, scratch, or a scuffed bumper, most repairs can be completed in hours rather than days.
