No co-ordination between the company and the contractors. Better to deal with the contractors directly. Worst service.
Reply from The SMART Repair People
Hi Ayyappan,

We’re sorry to read your review and are disappointed you feel this way.

From the outset, we requested clear images of all areas of damage so we could provide an accurate quotation. The initial photos supplied did not show the full extent of the bumper damage, and when additional areas were later identified, this understandably affected the scope and price of the repair.

We would also like to say that our team is always here to help and will go above and beyond to find solutions for our customers. However, we do expect communication to remain respectful. On this occasion, some of the interactions with our staff fell below the standard of respect we expect when supporting our customers.

Our role is to coordinate the process from quote through to completion, ensuring customers are protected with vetted technicians, insured work, and a warranty on paint repairs. Dealing directly with independent contractors may sometimes appear simpler, but it removes those safeguards and the support structure we provide.

If you would like to discuss this further in a constructive way, we’re more than happy to review everything again with you directly.

Received a price to repair bumper scrape. Accepted, and waited for a time & date for repair. Told they do not cover Anglesey, North Wales, nor can they recommend any companies to carry out the repair. They do not cover all of UK as advertised.

The filling was very good, but the painting was not, several deep tape marks, I wouldn't use it again. See the photos and draw your own conclusion.

Don’t use a really poor service I sent in multiple photos of scratches to the rear of my vehicle and to the side. I was provided with a quote (after providing more photos on request) and agreed a date. The technician arrived today (28th July 2025) and stated the quote was inaccurate and it would be more than quoted. He attempted to contact head office but had no joy. He then had to go and do another job meaning I was left with no repair. I spoke to customer services who were unhelpful, stating someone else could come out at another date. Eventually I received an email stating that i could have my deposit back or they could re quote me. This is completely unacceptable to quote a job and then technician turns up and cannot do it because quote is wrong. I had a day off work for this as well. I would suggest you are taking a huge risk using this company given my experience

My experience was not great with them. I sent my pictures to get a quote and got one back i was happy to proceed. Then a few days later was contacted by another company who was doing the work for them that confused me as i thought i was dealing with this company. Anyway they said did i want all the work done in the picture as i was only quoted for some of it. If i did it would be a lot more money. This confused me again as i thought the pictures i sent showed all the damage i needed repaired as this other company managed to spot but not the people quoting. Anyway i said it was now a ridiculous price and canceled and tried to get my deposit back based on the fact i was not quoted correctly, anyway after back and forth i was told they needed to contact accounts about it and surprisingly i have not heard back from them. I can't say whether they were good repairers as i didn't get that far. It is not meant to be negative but just my experience with this company.

I just had the rear bumper of my Ford Fiesta repaired by Colin from The SMART Repair People, and the results are genuinely outstanding. Before the repair, my car had some pretty deep scuffs, scratches, and even a couple of small gouges on the rear corner (as seen in the first image). It looked quite rough and I was worried it might need a full panel respray or replacement. But Colin reassured me he could sort it out, and he absolutely delivered. After he worked his magic, the difference was night and day. The scratches are completely gone, the paint is perfectly matched, and the bumper looks factory-fresh again (as you can see in the second image). You honestly wouldn't know there had been any damage at all. Even up close, it’s hard to tell there was ever an issue. Colin was professional, punctual, and clearly takes pride in doing a proper job. He explained everything clearly and made the entire process really easy. It's rare to find someone this skilled and reliable these days. If you're thinking of getting a SMART repair done, I 100% recommend Colin. The quality of his work speaks for itself. Thanks again

A sorry excuse for a business. They cancelled 3 times, spreading the repair across 2 months. This of course delayed everything else we had planned with the vehicle. After we complained about the cancellations, they then had someone booked in for the job. He rang in the day before saying he couldn't do the job as it needed a new trim - that excise didn't stick cause we had a replacement trim. He agreed to come in the next day. Showed up the next day to say he couldn't fix it because of a hole in the quarter panel. we asked that they did everything else as it had been months in the waiting, but he said he couldn't as it wasn't worth his day wage. I wouldn't trust the quote nor pay a deposit to this company. Watch out and tread carefully.

Hi David Adefey,

We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy, but we must clarify that this review is not factually accurate. For any customers reading this, we’re more than happy to provide evidence that contradicts this account. Please feel free to contact us directly at hello@smartrepairpeople.com and we can share:

• The full timeline and communication regarding this booking,
• A clear image of the quarter panel in question, which shows a gaping hole and visible rust — critical damage that was not disclosed in the images initially provided for the quotation.

Reviews work both ways — while customers are entitled to share their experience, businesses also have the right to defend themselves. This review simply isn’t true and has a negative impact on small businesses like ours who work hard to maintain high standards and customer trust.

Beware!!!! Cowboy website!!! Terrible workmanship!!!! Beware! ! This is a cowboy website with terrible workmanship!!!!! I paid £344 for a service on August 13th, 2024, under invoice number 222490ES-1110. After the repairer informed me that the job was complete and requested payment, I noticed the paintwork was absolutely terrible. There were numerous paint drips on the panels, resembling waves. Despite this, I paid the repairer, who assured me that the paint needed seven days to dry before he could return to polish the surface and finish the job. However, the visible paint drips remained, and despite my repeated attempts to contact him, he continually gave excuses for not returning. I also emailed The Smart Repair People, but they have done nothing to resolve the issue. After waiting over a month, they have now completely disappeared. In the end, I paid £344 for a substandard paint job that failed to cover the scratches properly.

Put a little dink and a couple of chips in the nearside rear panel on my Tesla, extremely annoyed with myself so googled a few repair companies and after a bit of research decided on using the smart repair people. After sending a few photos of the damage was instantly sent a quote. I then had to decide if I was happy with the quote and if so pay a deposit to book the date for the repair to take place. This I did and James arrived at the appointed time and carried out the work which I am absolutely delighted with, you would never know it had ever happened. I would thoroughly recommend this company and would definitely use them again if I ever have any further bodywork problems

What a brilliant service. So easy to arrange online with a few clicks and some photos uploaded on your excellent website and, the best bit, the repairs were done at my home so no need to drop the car off somewhere and then find something to do for 3 hours.
