Quality Scratch Repair/Buffing Service
We start with a thorough assessment to determine the depth and severity of the scratches. Light surface scratches and scuffs can often be buffed and polished out in a single visit, while deeper scratches that have cut through the clear coat may need sanding, touch-up paint, and refinishing to restore a factory finish. Either way, our technicians use advanced techniques to carefully fill, sand, and blend the affected areas, then color-match and buff the paint back to a uniform gloss and shine.
Wondering whether your scratch can simply be buffed out? A good rule of thumb: if you can’t catch your fingernail in the scratch, it can likely be buffed out. Bring your vehicle in and we’ll inspect it and prepare a free estimate — no appointment needed.
