Kennedy Coachworks, are your local SMART repairs experts. Based in Blantyre near Glasgow, we provide fast, high-quality, and affordable car bodywork repairs.

Our team of experts are highly experienced in fixing everything from paintwork scratches to bumper scuffs and minor dents. With a well-equipped, modern workshop that includes multiple paint booths, we ensure superior results, setting us apart from mobile paint repair services.

What are SMART Repairs?

SMART repairs use advanced techniques and specialised tools to fix localised damage on your car, such as scratches, dents and scuffs without the need to remove or repaint entire panels. By using the latest paintwork technology, SMART repairs offer a seamless finish that’s both quick and cost-effective.

Traditionally, even minor damage to your vehicle meant taking it to a bodyshop for days or weeks, and paying high costs to repair entire panels. SMART repairs have revolutionised this process, allowing for fast, targeted fixes in just a matter of hours. This not only reduces downtime for your vehicle but also dramatically lowers repair costs compared to older methods.

Benefits of SMART Repairs

Fast Turnaround: Minor repairs can often be completed in a matter of hours, meaning your car is back on the road quickly.
Cost-Effective: SMART repairs are significantly cheaper than traditional bodyshop services, often costing less than your insurance excess, allowing you to preserve your no-claims discount.
Professional Finish: Kennedy Coachworks use the very latest colour-matching technology to ensure the repaired area blends perfectly with the rest of your car’s paintwork.
Preserves Value: Prompt repairs prevent further deterioration of damage, helping to maintain the value of your car.
Ideal for Lease Returns: SMART repairs are a great way to return your leased or financed car in top condition, avoiding expensive penalties for damage.

Kennedy Coachworks has over 25 years of experience handling all types of car body damage, from light scratches and dents to full resprays on prestige vehicles, we have the know-how to restore your car to its original condition. We’re very competitive on cost with the mobile repairers with the advantage of being able to repair vehicles in all weathers and to a higher standard.

Why choose Kennedy Coachworks over mobile repairers?

While mobile repair services offer convenience by coming to your home or workplace, Kennedy Coachworks provides several key advantages:

Superior Equipment: Our modern, fully-equipped workshop features multiple paint booths, ensuring your car receives professional treatment with cutting-edge technology. Mobile repairers simply cannot match the level of precision and quality achieved in our dedicated painting facility.
Expertise and Experience: With years of experience handling tricky and complex repairs, our team is highly skilled in delivering brilliant results. Mobile repairers often lack the depth of experience and the range of equipment necessary for high-quality repairs, particularly for more challenging jobs.
Competitive Pricing: Despite offering a higher standard of repair than mobile specialists, Kennedy Coachworks remains competitively priced. Our in-house work process using multiple booths for jobs at different stages, means less downtime waiting on things like paint drying and a more optimised workflow. We can offer quick, affordable fixes without sacrificing quality.
Better Finish: The controlled environment of our workshop allows us to provide a flawless finish that’s difficult to replicate outdoors. Weather conditions and other variables can affect mobile repairs, whereas we ensure consistent, high-quality results every time.

What Damage Can SMART Repairs Fix?

Our SMART repair service at Kennedy Coachworks covers a wide range of common minor car bodywork issues, including:

Paintwork Scratches: From light surface scratches to deeper marks, we restore your car’s paintwork to its original condition.
Minor Dents: Whether from shopping trolleys or minor accidents, our techniques can often remove dents without the need for costly panel replacements.
Bumper Scuffs: Bumper damage is common, but our SMART repairs make your car look brand new in no time.

Our reputation has been built on ensuring that our customers are always happy. If the damage to your vehicle is too extensive and it’s not suitable for a fast-turnaround smart repair, well tell you. Generally, more serious damage that includes broken lights, grilles or buckled wings or doors are not suitable for SMART repairs. In these cases we’ll still be able to do the work but the cost will be higher and we may advise you to contact your insurance company.
