Photo-First Paint Scope

Send Photos Before You Visit

Paint, dent, bumper, and panel repairs depend on depth, location, colour, and whether hidden clips or brackets are damaged. A photo-first intake helps us separate quick cosmetic work from larger body repair.

Photos help us prepare. Your repair method and written quote are confirmed after we inspect the car.

Send damage photos on WhatsApp

What to send on WhatsApp

  • Full panel photos from straight-on and angled views
  • One close-up of each scratch, dent, scuff, or crack
  • Car make, model, year, and paint colour if known
  • Whether this is cash repair or insurance repair

What we check first

  • Repair vs repaint vs replacement path
  • Colour match, blend area, panel gaps, and finish risk
  • Bumper clips, brackets, sensors, and hidden accident damage
  • Whether polishing, PDR, or full denting and painting is enough

What to Expect

Written Scope, Start to Finish

Turnaround

You get a realistic timeline at assessment and regular updates — not an optimistic estimate that quietly slips later.

How It Works

Assessment terms are confirmed for the job, followed by a written quote you approve before work begins. The agreed scope is checked before handover, and added work requires your approval.

Workshop Access

Our workshop is in Al Quoz. Any outside specialist work is identified in the agreed repair scope. If the car is not safe to drive, we can collect it and return it after the work — arrange that on WhatsApp. On an insurance claim, the insurer may have its own authorised recovery route; ask it first.

22nd St, Al Quoz Industrial Area 4, Dubai, UAE

Workshop Hours and Directions

Estimate from Photos

An estimated price is given from photos sent on WhatsApp; the final price is confirmed in writing after the car is seen.

Written Warranty

Every job carries a written warranty; its length depends on the job and is written on the invoice.

Full Breakdown

Services and Checks

The work and checks for your vehicle are agreed in the written quote. This list shows possible scope, not a package with every item included.

01

What it costs

Most single-panel dent and paint repairs start from AED 499. The exact price depends on the damage. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will confirm the scope and price in writing before any work starts.

02

WhatsApp Photo Triage

Send clear photos before visiting to support initial routing; the repair method and written price follow an in-person inspection.

03

Photo-to-Workshop Scope

We use your photos to decide whether the likely path is polishing, PDR, bumper repair, panel repaint, replacement, or a wider accident repair check.

04

Colour and Blend Assessment

The paint identifier, panel condition, fade, material and repair area are assessed before the colour, blend and finish scope is confirmed.

05

Full Vehicle Respray Scope

A complete exterior repaint or colour-change request requires vehicle, stripping, preparation, finish, trim, glass, parts and registration-impact review before acceptance.

06

Panel Painting & Blend Scope

Panel, bumper, door or bonnet work is assessed against the existing finish, fade, material and adjacent blend area before a result is proposed.

07

Bumper Scratch & Scuff Repair

Bumper scratches, parking scuffs, cracked paint, and scraped corners repaired, painted, and polished when the bumper is repairable.

08

Scratch & Scuff Removal

Deep scratches, stone chips, and scuffs removed and touched up — from light cosmetic work to full panel refinishing.

09

Dents: Repair First, Then Paint

A dent that needs reshaping and refinishing is part of the paint job. A parking dent that may come out without paint is assessed as car dent repair, using paintless dent removal (PDR) or reshaping.

10

Panel Alignment & Finish Check

After denting and painting, we check panel gaps, surface finish, gloss, and blend quality before handover.

11

Polish & Detailing

Post-repair polishing and detailing restores the full gloss and clarity of your vehicle's finish.

12

Denting & Painting

Reshaping and repainting for doors, bumpers, fenders, bonnets, and accident-damaged panels in one workshop.

Car paint repair in Dubai

Car paint repair at Active Auto covers dents, bumper scratches, scuffs and panel resprays, with the colour and finish confirmed after the car is inspected. Single-panel work starts from AED 499; the final price is confirmed in writing after the car is seen.

Each kind of damage has its own page: car dent repair for parking dents and damaged panels, car scratch repair for scratches and scuffs, car bumper repair for cracked, scuffed or scraped bumpers, and car detailing and polishing for machine polishing and swirl removal.

A classic car's paint and bodywork follow a different route: the car is assessed first and the work is done in stages, each agreed in writing. See classic car restoration.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about paint & body work

Can you match the exact colour of my car?
The paint code helps us choose the colour, but fading and the panel material also matter. After inspecting the damage, we explain the proposed repair, any blending needed and the finish to expect before you approve. We cannot guarantee an invisible match.
Will the repainted panel be noticeable?
The result depends on the existing finish, fade, damage, material and blend area. We explain the proposed result and any limitation after inspection rather than promising an invisible repair.
Do you offer full car resprays?
Yes. We offer full exterior resprays for cars needing complete refinishing or a colour change.
Do you handle car painting and denting near me in Dubai?
Yes. Active Auto handles denting, painting, scratch repair, and panel respray work for customers across Dubai. Use our Google Maps profile for live directions to the workshop in Al Quoz Industrial Area 4.
Do you offer car body painting in Dubai?
Yes. We handle car body painting in Dubai for bumpers, doors, fenders, bonnets, quarter panels, and full exterior resprays. We match the colour, prepare the panel, paint, blend, polish, and check the finish before handover.
Are you an auto paint repair shop for scratches and bumper damage?
Yes. Active Auto works as an auto paint repair shop for scratches, scuffs, bumper damage, panel painting, and denting and painting jobs. Send photos on WhatsApp first if you want an initial estimate range before visiting.
I only have a dent and the paint is fine. Where do I start?
A dent with undamaged paint is assessed as car dent repair, which covers paintless dent removal (PDR) and reshaping. Deeper damage may need reshaping, filler, primer, paint, and polish, which is the paint and bodywork work on this page.
Can I send photos on WhatsApp for a paint or bodywork quote?
Yes. Photos can support initial triage and identify what needs inspection, but the repair method and written price are confirmed only after the vehicle is seen.
What photos should I send for a paint or bodywork estimate?
Send one photo of the full car side, one close-up of the damaged area, and one angled photo that shows depth or dents. If the bumper, door, fender, bonnet, or quarter panel is affected, include the whole panel in at least one photo.
Can photos confirm the final paint or bodywork price?
Photos help us give an initial estimate path, but the final price is confirmed after seeing the car. Hidden bumper brackets, sensors, panel alignment, old paint, or deeper denting can change the scope.
Can you repair bumper scratches and small dents?
Yes. We handle bumper scratches, scuffs, dents, cracks, and repainting. Some small dents may be repairable without repainting; deeper damage usually needs reshaping, filler work, primer, paint, and polishing.
How long does a paint job take?
Timing is confirmed after the panel material, damage depth, preparation, paint system, blend area, curing, parts, and workshop schedule are known.
Is your paint work covered by warranty?
Yes. Paint and bodywork carry a written warranty like every job; how long it lasts depends on the job and is written on the invoice.
How much does car paint and bodywork cost in Dubai?
Paint and bodywork is quote-only. Photos can support initial triage, but the written price follows inspection of the panel, finish, hidden damage, parts and blend scope. For a claim, the insurer confirms authorised scope, excess and settlement.
