Scratches, door dings and bumper scuffs
Which minor repair does your vehicle need?
Paint scratches & scuffs
Show the team where the finish is marked and whether the paint is cracked or missing. The assessment helps distinguish suitable surface correction from work that needs refinishing.
Explore scratch and scuff repairs →Dents & door dings
A dent with intact paint may be suitable for paintless dent removal. Panel access, the shape of the dent and its position all affect the proposed method.
Explore dent repair and PDR →Bumper & parking damage
A scraped corner can involve paint, trim or the panel underneath. Mention any loose parts, affected lamps or warning messages rather than assuming the mark is only cosmetic.

Pay out of pocket or use ICBC?
Start with a repair assessment. Then compare the written estimate with your applicable deductible and the coverage available for the incident. Our Colorworks advisor will walk you through the repair scope and help organize your chosen route.
When private-pay may make sense
- You want a suitable minor cosmetic repair and prefer to pay directly.
- The estimate is below or only modestly above a deductible that would apply.
- No applicable insurance coverage is available for the damage.
When to explore insurance
- The damage may be covered and the repair cost is substantially above your applicable deductible.
- An impact may involve hidden damage or another vehicle, so the full repair and claim picture needs clarification.
- You already have a claim and want help arranging the assessment and repair.
Do not assume every claim raises premiums. The effect depends on the incident, assessed responsibility and your insurance history. ICBC confirms coverage, deductibles and insurance impacts; our Colorworks Team explains the repair estimate and arrangements.

Choosing how to pay for repairs is separate from any incident-reporting responsibilities. Do not delay required reporting while comparing repair options. Vehicle concierge is available only through eligible ICBC Valet service and confirmed arrangements.

Scratch and dent repair questions
Minor repair questions for Port Coquitlam
Where can I arrange scratch and dent repair in Port Coquitlam?
Port Coquitlam drivers can contact our team at 1830 Kingsway Avenue for scratch, dent and minor repair enquiries. Tell the advisor whether you want to tidy up one mark, prepare a vehicle for sale or address several small areas at once. A written estimate gives you a clear scope to review, including any paint or panel work needed for the result you want.
Can every dent be repaired without painting?
No. Paintless dent repair may be an option for suitable dents, but the paint condition, panel access, shape and location of the damage matter. An assessment is needed to confirm the appropriate repair method.
Can a scratch be polished out?
Some surface marks may be suitable for polishing or paint correction. Deeper scratches, cracked paint and exposed material can need refinishing or a different repair. Your advisor will explain the proposed approach after assessment.
How much does a scratch, dent or bumper repair cost?
The cost depends on the damage, panel, access, finish and repair method. Ask for a written estimate covering the work you want done. Photographs can help begin the conversation, but the team may need to inspect the vehicle to confirm the scope.
How long does minor auto body repair take?
Timing depends on the assessed work, booking availability and any paint or parts requirements. Confirm the proposed schedule with your advisor before arranging drop-off or alternative transport.
