COLLISION, PANEL AND PAINT · AL QUOZ 4
Car Body Shop in Dubai
سمكرة السيارات وإصلاح البودي بالعربية
Bring us dents, scratches, bumper damage, uneven panels or accident damage. Our Al Quoz 4 body shop compares paintless repair, panel correction, refinishing and replacement, then gives you a written estimate before work begins. Minor cosmetic work is estimated at AED 335–1,145; panel repair and paint at AED 855–2,665 per panel, subject to inspection.
START WITH THE DAMAGE
Body repairs for each concern
A body shop should do more than cover the visible mark. The correct service depends on the impact, panel material, access, paint condition, previous repairs, and whether nearby components moved. We separate cosmetic, structural, mechanical, and electronic work so you can see what is included.
Dents and panel shape
Paintless dent repair can suit shallow damage with intact paint. Sharper creases, stretched metal, damaged edges, and cracked coatings usually need controlled reshaping, preparation, and refinishing.
We inspect body lines, crowns, inner braces, double-skin areas, and access behind the panel before recommending a method.
Bumpers and exterior trim
Bumper covers can be repaired when the plastic, mountings, and final fit support it. Torn material, broken guides, damaged reinforcement, lamps, grilles, or sensor brackets can change the scope.
The estimate identifies repairable parts and any replacement clips, trim, brackets, sensors, or complete components.
Collision and alignment
Uneven gaps, difficult doors, displaced lamps, wheel contact, and pulling after an impact need more than paint. We check openings, mountings, visible reference points, wheels, steering, suspension, and relevant safety systems.
Measurement or controlled correction is proposed only when the inspection shows it is required.
PLAN THE COMPLETE COST
Car body shop prices in Dubai
These workshop planning ranges are before VAT and help you compare repair choices; 5% VAT is not included in the displayed prices. The final total varies with the vehicle, damage, material, paint system, parts condition, dismantling, blending, and testing. Each written estimate states labor, materials, parts, outside services, exclusions, and VAT treatment.
Minor cosmetic repair
AED 335–1,145
Typical scope: accessible paintless dent repair, localized scratch correction, small paint touch-up, or limited plastic correction. Deep paint damage, multiple dents, and trim removal can increase the total.
Panel repair and paint
AED 855–2,665 per panel
Typical scope: reshaping, surface preparation, color matching, refinishing, removal and refitting of necessary trim, and a final finish check. Blending adjacent panels is separate when required.
Bumper repair and refinish
AED 620–1,525
Typical scope: removal where needed, plastic repair, preparation, refinishing, installation, and relevant parking-sensor check. Reinforcement, lamps, grilles, and broken brackets are additional.
Panel replacement and refinishing
AED 1,715–6,190+
Typical scope: selected replacement panel, fitting, alignment, preparation, paint, and reassembly. Genuine, OEM-equivalent, aftermarket, and used parts differ in price, availability, condition, and included hardware.
Structural measurement or correction
AED 1,430–7,145+
Used when visible alignment or reference measurements indicate controlled correction. Exterior panels, mechanical parts, electronics, and paint operations are priced according to the actual damage.
Complete exterior repaint
AED 4,285–13,335+
The total depends on vehicle size, existing finish, color, preparation, removal requirements, rust or body repairs, materials, and the selected paint system.
Compare complete written totals rather than a headline price. Check whether preparation, removal and refitting, blending, materials, parts condition, calibration and VAT are included. We confirm a vehicle-specific quote after inspecting the damage.
SAFE ARRIVAL FIRST
Should you drive the damaged car?
Stop and request advice if a wheel is displaced, a tire touches the body, steering or braking has changed, fluid is leaking, glass blocks vision, a bumper or panel may detach, the vehicle overheats, or a red warning appears. Driving can turn repairable damage into a larger mechanical or electrical problem.
A small scrape or shallow dent may allow a planned workshop visit when steering, braking, wheel clearance, temperatures, lamps, glass, and warnings remain normal. If you are unsure, send photos and describe what changed after the impact.
Free pickup and delivery is available across Dubai. A dedicated on-site inspection van can be arranged when a mobile assessment is useful. Any separate site-visit terms are confirmed before dispatch.
REPAIR, REPLACE OR REFINISH
Choose the smallest reliable repair
Keep the original panel
Repair is often suitable when the panel remains serviceable, the shape can be restored, and final strength, fit, corrosion protection, and finish can be achieved. Retaining the panel can reduce parts delay and unnecessary dismantling.
Replace damaged components
Replacement may be better when a panel is severely folded, a bumper is torn around mountings, a sealed lamp is broken, or a safety-related part cannot be restored reliably. The proposed part condition is named in the estimate.
Refinish only what is needed
Paint scope should follow the damage and color-matching need. Some repairs suit localized refinishing, while metallic, pearl, faded, or highly visible panels may require broader preparation or blending for a consistent result.
We do not treat polishing as a substitute for panel correction or paint repair. Polishing can improve light surface marks and gloss, but it cannot restore stretched metal, replace missing coating, secure broken brackets, or correct an uneven panel gap.
FROM INSPECTION TO HANDOVER
How your body repair works
You can start with a description and photos. The workshop inspection establishes what is repairable, what needs replacing and which checks belong in the quote.
- 01
Show us the damage
Send the model, affected area and photos, or bring the car to Al Quoz 4 for a free initial inspection.
- 02
Check beyond the mark
We inspect panel fit, mountings, paint, adjacent parts and relevant warnings before choosing a method.
- 03
Compare repair choices
We explain suitable dent repair, panel correction, refinishing or replacement, with parts condition where relevant.
- 04
Approve the written quote
See labour, paint, parts, VAT treatment and any work that depends on dismantling before repairs begin.
- 05
Repair and refinish
The approved work is completed, fitted and finished; affected lamps, sensors or mechanical parts are checked.
- 06
Review at handover
Check panel gaps, colour, trim, latches and relevant functions against the work described on the invoice.
If dismantling reveals additional damage, we explain the finding and revised total before adding work.
PAINT AND FINISH CONTROL
What a proper refinish should include
Color matching begins with the vehicle paint code but does not end there. Existing fade, previous refinishing, panel position, metallic orientation, pearl layers, preparation, application, clearcoat texture, and neighboring panels affect the visible match.
The surface must be stable before paint. That can include correcting metal or plastic, removing corrosion, treating exposed areas, leveling the repair, applying suitable primers, and cleaning contamination. Masking should protect openings and adjacent components rather than leave overspray on trim, seals, glass, or inner edges.
After curing, the finish is checked under useful light for color transition, texture, gloss, sanding marks, dust, edge coverage, and consistency with adjacent panels. Removed handles, moldings, lamps, liners, badges, sensors, and seals must be refitted securely. Relevant functions are checked before handover.
MATCH THE WORK TO THE DAMAGE
Common body-shop decisions
Similar marks can need different work. These examples explain the choice; the body-shop price ranges above show planning costs for each type of repair.
A door ding with intact paint
Paintless dent repair may preserve the original finish when the shape and access allow it. A sharp crease, panel edge or earlier filler can change the method.
A scuffed or loose bumper
Surface repair may be enough for a sound cover. Loose guides, broken brackets, reinforcement, sensor mounts or lamps must be checked before repainting.
An uneven gap after impact
Door, bonnet or lamp alignment may point to damaged hinges, mounts or adjoining panels. Fit and function come before the final paint decision.
SYSTEMS AROUND THE BODY
Hidden damage that can change the quote
Doors, glass, and sealing
A side impact can affect hinges, latches, intrusion protection, window movement, weather seals, mirrors, and opening dimensions. Uneven gaps, wind noise, water entry, or a difficult latch need correction before cosmetic finishing. If the windscreen is affected, see our windscreen replacement service for fitting and sensor considerations.
Lamps, sensors, and cameras
Modern bumpers and panels may carry parking sensors, radar mounts, cameras, blind-spot equipment, and wiring. Replacement or disturbance can require functional checks, aiming, coding, or calibration.
Wheels and suspension
A wheel strike can damage tires, rims, arms, joints, steering parts, dampers, subframes, or geometry. Alignment should follow the mechanical inspection rather than hide a bent or loose component.
Cooling and underbody parts
Front impacts can affect radiators, condensers, fans, supports, hoses, shields, and undertrays. Fluid loss, overheating, damaged mounts, or loose protection must be handled as part of the repair decision.
For multi-system accident damage, review our car accident and collision repair service.

DIRECT ANSWERS
Car body shop FAQs
How long does body repair take?
A small PDR or cosmetic repair may take several hours, subject to capacity. A painted panel usually needs preparation and curing time. Multi-panel collision work, parts ordering, structural correction, or calibration can take longer. We provide a practical timing estimate after inspection.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos can support an initial range. Send wide views, close views, panel gaps, wheel position, paint cracks, and warning messages where relevant. The free workshop inspection confirms access, previous repairs, hidden damage, and the written total.
Do you repair all vehicle makes?
We assess body damage on common, luxury, performance, SUV, and commercial passenger vehicles. Construction, material, electronics, parts availability, and previous repairs determine the suitable method, not the badge alone.
Is paintless dent repair always cheaper?
PDR often reduces paint and preparation work when the dent and finish are suitable. It is not the correct choice when paint is broken, metal is severely stretched, access is unsafe, or a previous repair makes movement unreliable.
Can you use genuine or alternative parts?
The estimate can compare suitable parts routes when available. Genuine, OEM-equivalent, aftermarket, remanufactured, and used components should be compared by exact fit, condition, included hardware, preparation, and any coding or calibration requirement.
Is workshop inspection free?
Yes. The initial workshop inspection in Al Quoz 4 is free. Controlled dismantling, specialist measurement, outside testing, or a dedicated on-site inspection is explained before any additional scope begins.
Do you provide pickup and delivery?
Yes. Free pickup and delivery is available across Dubai. Collection requirements depend on vehicle access, ground clearance, wheel condition, steering, and whether the car can be loaded safely.
What should I check at handover?
Review panel gaps, reflections, color, texture, trim security, latches, seals, lamps, glass, sensors, warnings, and the original concern. The invoice should state the work performed and parts fitted, with any remaining advisory item listed separately.
