Step 1 of 5
Assess the depth
Mark works out whether the scratch is in the clear coat, the colour or down to primer, then masks off the panel.
SERVICE · PANEL SCRATCHES
Mobile car scratch & scuff repair, on your driveway.
Key scratches, trolley grazes and car-park rash cut back, re-sprayed and blended into your factory colour, right in your driveway.
Before · the damageWHAT MARK FIXES · PANEL SCRATCHES
Panel scratches Mark makes disappear.
A trolley graze across a door, a key scratch down the side, paint transfer from a tight car park, the marks you notice every time you walk up to the car. Mark cuts back, re-sprays and blends the panel so the scratch is gone, not just filled.
A clear-coat scratch catches the light but barely your fingernail; a key or trolley can cut through the colour to the grey primer below; paint transfer from a tight car park leaves a coloured streak. The deeper the scratch, the more it needs proper colour and clear, not a touch-up pen that sits proud and yellows.

Matched to your car's factory colour.

- Read off your manufacturer's factory colour code.
- Mixed and tinted to that code on-site, not a generic touch-up.
- Blended into the surrounding clear coat so there's no visible edge.
- Backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty.

PROOF · IN OUR CUSTOMERS' WORDS
What our customers say.
Real notes of thanks from real driveways, names and suburbs are theirs, lightly tidied for grammar only. Nothing invented.
I just wanted to pass on my comments about the service from you yesterday morning. You were prompt, professional and courteous, and most of all, my Mazda looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend Scratch 'n' Match to anyone.
Mrs T. Jones
Killara, NSW
I'd just picked up my new Honda Civic and parked it for less than an hour in a supermarket car park. On my return, someone had bashed the rear bumper. The dealer quoted me a small fortune to repair the damage. I called Mark at Scratch 'n' Match and he came and repaired it for a fraction of the price, and without a trace of the previous damage. Needless to say, I'm one very happy customer!
Jonathan
Rose Bay, NSW
Many thanks for a job well done. I was very impressed by the service and the equally fine workmanship. I'm elderly and drive my car every day, it's my independence. The car looks like new (at least the bit Mark repaired!). If the need arises, I shall certainly use Scratch 'n' Match again.
Mrs Brown
Turramurra, NSW
Just wanted to say a big thank you for a job very well done. I'm so happy with the results and will definitely be referring Scratch 'n' Match to my friends and family. I also really appreciate you calling to let me know you were running late, great service.

FAQ · THE COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know.
Can you get a deep key scratch out?
Most key and trolley scratches that have cut through the clear coat or colour can be re-sprayed and blended back to factory. Send a photo and Mark will tell you honestly what's achievable before he starts. [draft, confirm with Mark]
Will the colour match exactly?
Yes. Every panel is matched to your car's manufacturer's factory colour and blended into the surrounding clear coat, so the repair blends into the surrounding paint. The work is backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty.
How long does a scratch repair take?
Most panel scratches are done in 2–3 hours, on the spot in your own driveway. You don't need to leave your car anywhere. [draft, confirm with Mark]
Do I need to claim on insurance?
Almost never. A panel scratch is usually cheaper than your excess, and paying Mark directly means no claim, no excess, and no hit to your no-claim bonus.
