Vandal & Key Scratch Repair
Keyed down the side? We'll make it disappear — and handle the insurance claim if you're claiming.
Few things feel worse than finding your car keyed. Vandal scratches are usually deep — through the lacquer and colour, often to primer or metal — and typically run across multiple panels, which is why they can't be polished or touched-in away.
We repair vandal damage properly: each affected panel is prepared, refinished and blended, so the car looks exactly as it did before. Many vandal scratches are covered by fully comprehensive insurance, and we'll document the damage and handle the claim process with your insurer if you choose to claim.
