What to know

When a body shop is needed

Large areas of peeling clear coat, widespread finish failure, or damage needing full-panel refinishing may call for a body shop. A photo cannot always show true depth.

How Dan assesses it

Before he recommends a fix

Dan checks how deep the mark goes before recommending polishing, touch-up, or another repair.

Photos that help

Gently clean the area, then send a full-panel view and close daylight photos from two angles.

Common questions

Before you request an estimate

Can every scratch be polished out?

No. Polishing may help surface and some clear-coat marks. Missing color or exposed primer or metal needs another repair method.

Is scratch repair the same as paint touch-up?

Scratch repair starts with the damaged layer. Touch-up adds color where paint is missing; some scratches need neither added paint nor a full repaint.
