A sample post
This is the kind of post that lands in your plan, here for Instagram.
Myth: Every dent needs repainting. Fact: Many small dents can be fixed without touching the original paint. Ask before you repaint.
Photo brief. Split card: a car door being sanded and repainted labelled MYTH, a technician gently pushing out a dent with paint untouched labelled FACT.
Myths your customers believe
Posts that correct a myth earn trust. Your plan includes them, with your business name attached.
Myth. Every dent needs repainting
Fact. Many small dents can be fixed without disturbing the original paint, using paintless dent repair techniques.
Myth. Paint matching is guesswork
Fact. Colour codes, test panels and blending into nearby panels make a near-invisible match possible.
Myth. Small scratches do not matter
Fact. Scratches through the clear coat expose metal to moisture. Left alone, they can lead to rust.
Myth. A cheaper body shop gives the same finish
Fact. Surface preparation, primer, paint booth and curing decide how long a repair lasts. Shortcuts show within months.
How to protect a scratch until it is repaired
- Wash and dry the area
- Apply a touch-up pen to exposed metal
- Book a proper repair soon
Questions your customers ask
How long will the repair take?
It depends on the damage, parts availability and insurance approval. We share an estimate and update you as work progresses.
Will the colour match?
We use the car's colour code, spray test panels and blend into adjacent panels for a close match.
Do you handle insurance claims?
We help with the estimate, photos and surveyor inspection. Approval and payout are decided by the insurer.
Can you fix dents without painting?
Small dents with intact paint can often be repaired without repainting. We check and advise.
Do you give a warranty on paint?
Ask us about warranty terms for paintwork; we put them in writing on the invoice.
What about hidden damage?
After an accident we inspect beyond the visible panels and tell you what we find before doing extra work.
