Overview
What This Service Actually Covers
The premium difference is not just colour matching. It is proper prep, proper blending, and a repair process that makes cosmetic damage disappear without sending your car into a workshop for days.
Most scratches I'm called out for come from everyday stuff — a trolley at Craigieburn Central, a hedge down a tight driveway, someone's car door at the shops. If your fingernail catches in it, it's through the clear coat and into the colour, and that needs paint, not a polish. I had a silver Mazda 3 in Mickleham with a deep scratch the length of the rear door — sanded it back, matched the colour to the actual panel (sun-faded paint shifts off the factory code), laid the paint and blended it out so you genuinely can't pick where it was.
Because I'm mobile, all of this happens in your garage or driveway, so the car's never booked into a panel shop for a week. Send me a photo and I'll tell you what it needs and what it'll cost.

How The Repair Is Done
Our Scratch Repair Process
A clean on-site workflow, from first assessment through to the final blended finish. No workshop handoff, no vague process, no black box.
-
01
Assess
Check the scratch depth — clear coat, colour, or bare metal — from your photos, then confirm in person
Verify the paint code and tint the mix against your actual panel to allow for age and fade
-
02
Repair
Sand the scratch back to a sound, flat surface and prime any bare metal
Lay colour-matched base coat and blend it out past the repair so there is no hard edge
-
03
Finish
Clear coat the area to bring back factory gloss and protection
Cut and polish so the repair ties back into the surrounding paint

Straight up
When scratch repair isn't the right fix
I'd rather tell you honestly than take a job I can't do properly. Send me a photo and if it's one of these, I'll say so and point you to the right trade:
- Rust has already eaten through the metal — that needs cutting out and panel work first
- The panel is bent or there is metal missing — that is panel or structural work, not cosmetic
- It is on the bonnet or roof — I do not work those panels
Everything else — the everyday cosmetic stuff — is exactly what I do. Not sure which yours is? Send a photo and I'll give you a straight answer.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does scratch repair cost in Melbourne?
Most scratch repairs land between $150 and $500. Light clear-coat marks that cut and polish out sit at the low end; scratches through to the colour run $250–$500 with paint and blending involved. Send a photo and I'll give you a fixed price — what I quote is what you pay.
How long does scratch repair take?
Most scratch repairs take 2–4 hours in your driveway, so it's nearly always done the same day. A deep scratch running across two panels takes longer — I'll tell you upfront when I quote it.
Can a scratch be polished out without painting?
Sometimes. Drag your fingernail across it: if it glides over, the mark is likely only in the clear coat and a machine cut and polish can bring it back without any paint — those are the quickest, cheapest jobs I do. If your nail catches, it's through the clear and needs paint. Send a photo and I'll tell you which one you've got.
Will the repair be noticeable?
No — that's the whole point. I match the colour to your actual panel (sun-faded paint shifts off the factory code) and blend the fresh paint into the area around it, so there's no hard edge or patch. Done properly, you won't be able to find the repair.
Do you repair deep scratches?
Yes — deep scratches are most of my work. Through the clear, through the colour, down to bare metal: they get sanded back, primed where metal is exposed, then colour-matched, blended and cleared. If rust has already set in, I'll tell you honestly what it needs first.
Where can you perform the mobile repair?
We need a private garage or private driveway with access to power. We cannot work in apartment car parks, public places, roadside, or shared car parks. Note: We do not repair bonnets (hoods) or roofs.
