Scratch Master™ is an alternative, a tool of first resort that conveniently repairs at your home or work. Don’t forget the cost of a rental car, a potential insurance rate increase, and a Carfax report.
And the cost usually starts around $500 to $700 and can often exceeds $2,000 – $4000 depending on the damage. Don’t forget the blend! Even a quality auto body shop often has to re-paint 2-4 (already perfect) panels to camouflage any subtle color mis-match. It includes replacing panels (hopefully with OEM parts), or sanding the dent / scratch, applying “filler”, sanding it smooth, spraying primer, then repainting the entire panel with a finish that’s “not quite the same” as the original finish. Conventional repair is a process of last resort. To fix your dent or scratches, body shops specialize in what is called “Conventional Repair”.In their enclosed facility, bondo dust and paint fumes are par for the course. Your car will be there for days (sometimes weeks) being moved around to accommodate other jobs.At shop you will entrust your car to 3-5 different employees, rather than just one technician.Another ride back to shop when car is complete. You will then spend time scheduling two rides.For your initial estimate you’ll spend precious time driving around town visiting body shops and waiting in their lobby.Here’s a typical 5 step body shop process if you decide to go that route: Sometimes through honest ignorance and sometimes knowingly. Misdiagnose minor damage all the time.Tend to “see” repairs through a CAB lens to keep their non-(MIRT) techs busy.Are often ignorant to what is possible with (MIRT) especially at times when a (MIRT) repair is not super easy.Perhaps they dabble, but it’s not their bread & butter. (CAB) shops are not specialists in Minimally Invasive Repair Technology (MIRT) like Scratch Master™ is. The conventional auto body (CAB) shop mindset: It’s a completely different skillset and mindset. This is the art & science of keeping repairs extremely small. Scratch Master™ however, specializes in Minimally Invasive Repair Technology (MIRT). Sometimes it’s like getting leg surgery when all you have is a scraped knee. And, they often corrupt your factory finish needlessly. BUT, when it comes to minor dent, ding, & scratch repairs, the CAB shop process can be a gross waste of time & money. I truly honor the CAB expertise and they are hands down the better choice when those services are necessary as a last resort. CAB shops are crucial to the automotive industry and our communities. A (CAB) shop specializes in wrecks, “paint the whole panel” repairs, large damage, panel replacements & collision repair. What is a conventional auto body (CAB) shop?Ī (CAB) shop is very different from Scratch Master™.
