First, understand the extent of the damage

Scratches, dents and paint damage do not all require the same treatment. Assessment considers the location and extent of the damage and the current surface condition. Cleaning the surface can reveal areas not obvious at first glance. Share any previous repairs you know about. Request an inspection of the vehicle rather than expecting a definitive work list based only on its appearance.

Can a firm price be given from a photo?

Photos help explain your request, but they do not show every detail. At first contact, you can share an overall view and close-ups of the damaged area. There is no need to include personal information or unrelated documents. At SUBA OTO SERVİS, scope, price and completion time are determined after inspecting the vehicle. Ask clearly which treatments the proposed scope includes.

Why does preparation before painting matter?

Bodywork and paint repair involves more than applying the final coat. Depending on the damage, surface cleaning, correction, filling and sanding, priming and painting may be considered. Not every repair requires the same steps. 3M’s minor damage repair guide also treats cleaning, preparation and final inspection as successive operations.

Are polishing and paint repairs the same?

Polishing is not a substitute for straightening bodywork or repairing every kind of paint damage. Surface marks and the finish are assessed separately from physical panel damage. Do not choose a treatment based only on the shine in a photo without inspecting the surface. For surface marks, you can also read our paint polishing guide for more information.

What should you discuss at quotation and collection?

Discuss the areas to be treated, the proposed methods and the expected collection plan. Inspect the completed areas together at handover and ask your service team for washing and care advice. Keep the service record. To contact SUBA OTO SERVİS in Bursa Nilüfer about a claim, call 0532 377 82 57 to share your request and arrange a vehicle inspection.
