What's Included in Our Scratch Repair Service
Performed by I-CAR certified technicians at our Linden shop
Scratch Depth Assessment
We check whether the scratch sits in the clear coat, the paint, or down to primer — and tell you the honest fix for it.
Clear-Coat Buffing
Surface scuffs and light scratches polished and buffed out with no repainting needed.
Deep Scratch Refinishing
Scratches through the paint sanded, filled, primed, and refinished so the panel looks whole again.
Factory Color Matching
Your exact paint code pulled and blended so the repair disappears into the surrounding finish.
Key & Vandalism Scratches
Long key scratches and keyed panels repaired and blended, with insurance claims handled when they apply.
Spot & Panel Refinishing
We refinish only the affected area when we can, keeping cost down and the rest of your paint untouched.

Scratch Repair FAQs — Linden, NJ
Straight answers from our Linden body shop team
It depends on depth and size. A clear-coat scratch that buffs out often runs $100–$200, while a deeper scratch that needs sanding, filling, color-matching, and refinishing typically ranges from $300–$800 per panel. You get a free written estimate before any work begins.
Usually, yes. When the damage is limited to one area, we sand, fill, color-match, and refinish just the affected spot or panel — no need to repaint the entire vehicle. We only recommend more when the scratch is too widespread to blend cleanly.
Yes. We pull your factory paint code and blend the color into the surrounding finish so the repair is invisible. Our I-CAR and OEM-certified technicians do this work daily, so the repair disappears into your existing paint.
Vandalism like keying is often covered under comprehensive coverage. We handle the entire claims process and work with all major insurers, including GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, and USAA, so you can just drop the car off with us.
A clear-coat buff is often same-day. A deeper scratch that needs filling, color-matching, and refinishing usually takes 1–3 days so the paint and clear coat cure properly. We give you an exact timeline with your free written estimate at our Linden shop.
