SCRATCH REPAIR IN CALIFORNIA

From a single key mark to a scuffed bumper cover, Collision Pros handles small scratch repair in California with computer-matched paint and a lifetime workmanship warranty. Most jobs are finished the same day, and every estimate is free.

We repair only what needs repairing. If your scratch can be polished out, we will tell you instead of selling you a paint job, because honest car scratch repair is why South Bay drivers keep coming back.

HOW DEEP IS YOUR SCRATCH?

Scratch removal cost and method depend entirely on how many paint layers the damage reached. Here is how we grade every scratch before quoting it.

1
Level 1

Clear-coat scuff

Surface marks from brushes, bags, or light contact. Polished out in about an hour with zero paint applied.

Machine polish only
2
Level 2

Base-coat scratch

Your fingernail catches, and color is gone. We spot-refinish and blend so the repair disappears into the panel.

Spot refinish + blend
3
Level 3

Primer or metal exposed

White or bare metal shows through and rust can start. Sealed, primed, painted, and cleared to factory film build.

PAINT THAT DISAPPEARS

VIN-coded formulas

Your exact factory paint code is mixed in-house with PPG and BASF materials, then verified on a spray card against your panel in daylight.

Blended, not patched

Color is faded into the surrounding area so there is no hard edge, which matters most on metallics, pearls, and sun-faded reds.

Baked and polished

Every refinished scratch is cured in our downdraft booth and finish-polished so gloss matches the rest of the car.

Larger refinish work is covered on our paint and refinishing page, and dents without paint damage are handled by paintless dent removal.
