So, you’ve had a bump. Now what?
Whether it was a low-speed scuff in the supermarket car park or a full-on crunch at a junction, the first thought most people have is:
“Can this even be fixed?”
Closely followed by:
“How much is this going to cost me?”
…and then maybe:
“Please don’t tell me I need a whole new car.”
Here at Tannadice Autobody, we deal with this stuff every single day — and the good news is, most accident damage is absolutely repairable. And no, you probably don’t need a new car. Let’s break it down.
What Can Usually Be Repaired After an Accident?
Every car is different, but here’s what we can often fix — sometimes faster and more affordably than you’d expect:
- Bumper Damage – Cracks, dents, or paint scuffs? Easily sorted.
- Scratches & Paint Transfer – From other vehicles, bollards, or those cheeky wheelie bins.
- Dented Panels – Doors, wings, or quarter panels — we can repair and respray to look good as new.
- Cracked or Bent Panels – Depending on the severity, we may be able to reshape or replace just the affected part.
- Paint Matching Issues – That’s where our digital colour-matching tech comes in. No patchy repaints here.
What’s the Process Like?
At Tannadice, we keep it simple. Here’s how it works:
- Free Assessment – You send us a few pics, or pop by the workshop in Dundee.
- Quote & Advice – We’ll tell you if it’s worth repairing, what the options are, and whether it’s worth going through insurance.
- Insurance? No Problem. – We’re insurance-approved and happy to deal with the paperwork for you.
- Repairs Begin – Once approved, we’ll get your car sorted quickly and professionally.
- Job Done – You’ll drive away looking like the accident never happened.
Should I Go Through Insurance or Pay Myself?
Great question. Small repairs might cost less than your excess — so sometimes it’s better to pay privately and avoid a claim on your record. We’ll always give you honest advice on the best option for your situation.
