SMART Repairs in Daventry
Localised, colour-matched repair of bumper scuffs, scratches, stone chips and minor dents — completed on your driveway, with a lifetime ownership guarantee on our workmanship.
Following a lorry on the A5 or the A45 is a good way to collect stone chips, and Daventry drivers do a lot of it. The bonnets, mirror caps and bumper fronts of cars here carry more chips than the same cars would in a quieter town, and every chip is a small hole in the lacquer that lets moisture into the primer. Left through a couple of winters, that becomes rust. Caught early, it is a straightforward localised repair.
Chips are one half of what we repair around Daventry. The other is the ordinary damage of a growing town — scuffed bumper corners from tight supermarket bays, scraped doors in the multi-storey, and the gatepost and hedge damage that comes with living in Braunston, Badby or any of the villages along single-track lanes. All of it is SMART repair work: the damaged area is prepared, colour-matched, painted and blended on your driveway, and the rest of the panel is never touched.
Send photos first. Chips are priced by area, so a peppered bonnet is one repair, not thirty; a scuffed corner is priced from what the photos show; and if something has cracked or creased we will say it needs a body shop rather than pretend otherwise. We come to you across the town and the villages and usually complete in a single visit.
Who It Suits
Why Daventry Owners Book SMART Repairs
Stone-chipped bonnets
Lorry traffic on the A5 and A45 throws stones. Chips repaired early stay cosmetic; chips left become corrosion. A bonnet is repaired as one area, not chip by chip.
Car park corners
Supermarket and multi-storey bays account for most of the scuffed bumper corners we see. A localised repair puts the corner right in a morning.
Village lane damage
Gateposts, hedges and passing places on single-track roads leave scuffs and scratches on flanks and mirrors — all localised repairs that avoid repainting a panel.
The Process
How We Carry Out SMART Repairs
Photo quote
Send close-ups at a couple of angles plus a shot of the whole panel on WhatsApp. We reply with an honest price.
Preparation
Damaged area cleaned, sanded and shaped. Only the affected area is worked on — the rest of the panel is masked.
Colour match
Paint mixed to your vehicle's colour code and checked against the panel before it goes anywhere near it.
Paint & lacquer
Basecoat blended into the surrounding paint, then lacquered so the repair edge disappears.
Finish
Cured, refined and polished back to match the surrounding gloss.
Worth knowing: SMART repair suits localised cosmetic damage. Large areas, structural damage or panels needing replacement belong in a body shop, and we will say so from the photos rather than take on a job that will not look right.

Why Owners Trust Us
The Reassurance Comes Before the Result
Handing over a vehicle you care about takes a certain amount of trust. These are the things owners tell us mattered most before they booked.
One pair of hands
Every vehicle is worked on personally by Josh May. There is no rotating crew, no subcontracting and no trainee learning on your paintwork — the person who quotes the job is the person who carries it out.
Assessed before anything is touched
Paint is inspected, and where it matters, measured. Some vehicles need correcting; some genuinely do not. We would rather talk you out of work you do not need than sell it to you.
Prestige and specialist vehicles as routine
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche, Lamborghini, Range Rover, AMG, classics and modern performance cars are regular work for us — alongside family cars, vans and everything in between.
Fully mobile, fully self-sufficient
We arrive with our own water supply and professional equipment. Your vehicle is never driven away, never left on someone else's premises and never handed to a third party.
Deliberately limited availability
Correction and coating work is booked in small numbers because it cannot be rushed. It means dates are finite — and that every vehicle on the calendar gets the full time it needs.
Work you can check
60+ five-star Google reviews, and a lifetime ownership guarantee on the workmanship behind every SMART repair we complete.

Questions
SMART Repairs in Daventry — Asked Often
One. Chips are priced by the area they cover, not counted individually, so a bonnet with dozens of small chips is a single bonnet repair. We fill, prime, colour-match and lacquer the affected area and blend it. If the chips are so dense that the whole bonnet needs painting, we will say that honestly — it is a body shop respray at that point, not a SMART repair.
