What do Car Scratch Repair services include?

Car scratch repair services include inspecting the scratch to determine the severity of the damage, determining what tools and materials to use, the cost of the work and the time needed to complete the task. To get the most out of your car scratch repair, note that car scratches are usually of two types: a light scratch that goes only as far as affecting the clear coat layer, or a deep scratch that reaches the paint or cuts into the bare metal. 

Repairing Light Scratches

Car scratch repair for light scratches can be quite simple and can be done in at most a couple of hours, depending on the severity of the scratch, and the time needed for the touch-up to dry. If the light scratch is small, using and applying a car scratch repair pen can be all that’s required to fix the problem. While that is an option, the usual manner by which Taskers could perform this service is by cleaning the problem spot, masking off unaffected areas close to the scratch, then applying a polishing compound with a microfiber cloth to polish off the scratch.

Repairing Deep Scratches

Deep scratches call for a more qualified service to fix. This type of scratch may have penetrated the base coat of your car’s paint job, or worse, reached and exposed the bare sheet metal of your car’s body. Don’t delay in having this kind of scratch repaired, as neglecting it can cause corrosion to set in and lead to larger, more expensive repairs to your car. Have a small batch of paint, such as a touch-up bottle of the exact same colour as your car is getting primed for these repairs.

When repairing deep scratches, Taskers will first do a thorough cleaning on the problem spot to remove any dirt, grease or oils. High-grit sandpaper will be used to sand off the paint on and around the scratch, but only until reaching the clear coat. If the scratch goes deeper, more sanding is done. After the sanding is completed, the area is rinsed with water and wiped dry with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth.

To prepare the area for repainting, your Tasker may mask off the unaffected areas close to the scratch. A thin layer of primer will be applied and left to dry. The scratch will likely be touched up by dabbing (not brushing) new paint on it with a toothpick or matchstick, then finally left to dry.

Dent, Scratch, and Rim Repair

$10

Patterson Lakes, Victoria

27th Nov 2025

I recently bought a used 2004- Audi A4 2.0 (grey metallic color) that’s mechanically sound but has accumulated a bunch of cosmetic scratches, dents, and scuffs from the previous owner. I’m looking for quotes from experienced mobile panel beaters or repair specialists to fix these issues and make the car look sharp again. Preferably paintless dent repair (PDR) where possible to keep costs down, but some areas will need painting and color matching. Specific Damages (see attached photos for details): • Rear bumper: Scratches and dent on the left side. Paint cracked across most of the bumper. • Left lower quarter panel: Dent and scratches. • Right front guard (fender): Scratches and possible minor dent. • Right front bumper corner: Scratches and scuffing. • Right rear door: Scratches needing paint touch-up. • Left front guard: Light scratches. • Boot lid: Wash/polish marks (minor, might just need buffing). • Paint marks/scratches on two doors (driver and passenger side). • Hood (bonnet): Light surface scratches. • Roof: Minor scratches or marks visible in reflections. • Front bumper: Scuffs near the fog light/grille area. • Alloy rims: Curb rash and scratches on all four wheels. The car is located in Patterson Lakes, VIC 3197, and I’d prefer mobile service at my home. Work should include any necessary priming, painting, clear coating, and polishing for a seamless finish. I’m open to splitting the job (e.g., body repairs separate from rims) if that gets better quotes. Budget: Flexible - please quote

★★★★★ James fixed a nasty scratch on my car and made it look brand new! He was quick to reply to my initial message, scheduled me in the same week, and walked me through every step of the process. Not only was he very helpful, but he was also incredibly educational explaining how the scratch happened, what products he used, and even tips to prevent future damage. Top-notch service, fair price, and a true professional. Highly recommend!
