When your car suffers a minor dent, scratch, or bumper scuff, your first instinct might be to contact your insurer. But here’s the thing—filing a claim can end up costing you more in the long run. At Dent Guy, we offer a smart repair service that’s not only fast and professional but often cheaper than your insurance excess. That means no claim, no premium increase, and no unnecessary hassle.
The Problem with Claiming Small Repairs
Insurance excesses in Australia typically range between $600 and $1,200. So if your damage is minor, making a claim doesn’t always make financial sense. You’ll be out of pocket upfront and may face increased premiums in the future. Even worse, your vehicle might be off the road for days, if not weeks.
Many vehicle owners don’t realise they have a better option: a smart repair service that’s specifically designed for minor to moderate cosmetic damage.
What Is a Smart Repair?
SMART stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. This innovative approach allows trained technicians to isolate and repair only the damaged area—without needing to repaint or replace full panels.
Typical smart repairs include:
-
Bumper bar scuffs
-
Small dents
-
Scratches on panels or doors
-
Stone chips on bonnets or bumpers
Using advanced colour-matching tools and fast-drying materials, most jobs are completed in one to two hours, often for a fraction of what your insurance would charge.
