The short answer
There is no reliable flat price for Smart Repair on every vehicle. Limited treatment can involve less work than refinishing an entire panel. It must be technically suitable: damage, paint and position determine the method.
Our overview shows which services may fit and how the price is made up. The actual amount is set in an individual quote after the damage is checked.
Colour blending on a bumper: an invoiced case
In a documented Corion job, colour was blended over part of the front bumper. That job was invoiced as follows:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Repair excluding VAT | €350.00 |
| 19% VAT | €66.50 |
| Total including VAT | €416.50 |
An anonymised example of an invoiced job marked as paid, checked on 7 November 2026. The amount is not a fixed price, minimum price or average price for other damage. Area, location, paint system and preparation may differ for your vehicle.

Smart Repair: services and price factors
| Damage | Possible method | What affects the price | Your price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface paint mark | Polishing after inspection | Paint condition, depth and desired result | Individual quote after inspection |
| Limited paint scratch | Spot Repair, if suitable | Location, edge, paint system, colour and transition area | Individual quote after inspection |
| Scuff on a bumper corner | Plastic preparation and local refinishing | Deformation, preparation, mountings and sensor areas | Individual quote after inspection |
| Dent with intact paint | Paintless dent repair, if possible | Rear access, material, edges and previous damage | Individual quote after inspection |
| Larger paint or bodywork damage | Panel repair and refinishing | Repair scope, removal, parts and paint area | Individual quote after inspection |
The methods are examples for orientation. Removal, known previous damage, required replacement parts and special paints are considered during inspection. A repair photo of another vehicle is not a price promise.
What can make a difference in the quote?
Position and substrate
An accessible area needs a different approach from an edge, a concealed area or a damaged mounting point.
Paint and colour matching
Colour, paint system and the neighbouring visible surface affect preparation and the refinishing scope.
Preparation and parts
Removal and refitting, plastic preparation, previous repairs or required parts can add work.
When does Smart Repair make sense?
We check small paint damage, suitable parking dents and limited bumper damage. If damage reaches deeper, paint is affected over a large area or safety-related areas are involved, we discuss body repair and refinishing as an alternative.
Before a lease return, assessment should be considered alongside the return conditions. A repair needs to make economic sense; the later assessment belongs to the leasing company or return assessor.

Why the same scratch can cost different amounts
An edge or an open surface?
A suitable edge or boundary can affect the planned transition. A large uninterrupted visible surface may need a larger working area. An edge does not automatically mean a cheaper repair.
How much needs painting?
The visible damage and necessary paint area are not always the same size. Substrate preparation, transitions and, where needed, neighbouring panels belong in the calculation.
Colour and paint system
Solid colour, metallic or pearl effect, and a two- or three-stage system affect colour matching and the work sequence. “Solid” describes the colour character; a solid colour can also use a basecoat/clearcoat system.
Spot Repair and colour blending: what is the difference?
Spot Repair describes locally limited refinishing. Colour blending concerns a suitable colour transition; depending on the case, a larger or neighbouring area may be involved. These terms therefore do not describe one standard price package.

All vehicle makes. Including insurance damage.
We carry out paint and bodywork repairs across vehicle makes. We assess at the vehicle and against the relevant manufacturer requirements whether Smart Repair, panel repair or refinishing fits.
We handle repair enquiries involving all insurance companies and agree the necessary documents and repair steps with you and the insurer. Coverage, excess and any requirement to use a specified workshop are clarified before the order. Working together on a claim does not mean blanket cost approval or a contractual partnership with every insurer.

- Prepare photos: The whole panel, the damage in detail and a side view in good light.
- Complete the enquiry: Give model, year, known previous damage and your preferred timing. Do not upload identity documents or unnecessary vehicle documents.
- Agree the scope: We review the details, arrange an appointment if needed and discuss the possible repair and price before you commission it.

Frequently asked questions
What does Smart Repair cost in Hofheim-Wallau?
The price follows from the particular damage and suitable repair method. A small clearcoat mark, a dent and a crack in a bumper need different work. After photos or inspection, you receive a quote with an understandable scope.
Why is there no single price per scratch?
Visible length alone does not describe the work. Paint depth, location, metallic or multi-stage paint, access and preparation can change the scope.
Does the quote include all costs?
Before the order, we clarify the agreed scope, total price including applicable VAT and identifiable additional work. If hidden damage becomes visible later, we agree additional work and costs with you before carrying it out.
Where can I have the damage assessed?
By appointment at Nassaustraße 41, 65719 Hofheim-Wallau. Customers from Wiesbaden, Mainz-Kastel and Main-Taunus-Kreis can first send photos; these places are service areas, not additional workshop addresses stated here.
Can I come with a different vehicle make?
Yes. We handle paint and bodywork damage on all vehicle makes. Methods, parts and technical requirements are checked for the particular vehicle.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
That depends on the damage, policy, excess and any specified-workshop requirement. We support coordination with your insurer; we do not promise automatic or full coverage.
