Understand the repair
What this service does
High-speed driving on roads like E11 often results in small stones chipping away at your vehicle's front end. We treat these individual impact points to stop them from growing or rusting. Our process involves precision filling of each chip to restore the integrity of the paint shield.

How the work is carried out
Inspect and identify

Repair the confirmed fault
A color-matched resin or paint is dropped into each void using a micro-applicator tool. We ensure the volume of the paint fills the crater to the exact level of the clear coat.

Check the result
After curing, the bonnet is polished to blend the new paint with the aged surrounding surface. This restores a smooth, reflective finish across the entire front of the car.
The exact procedure depends on your vehicle and inspection findings. A technician confirms the work before repair.
Why it matters
Multiple stone chips can make a car look significantly older and poorly maintained. If left untreated, moisture can get under the paint edges and cause widespread delamination.
Before you drive
Maintain a safe following distance from large trucks to reduce stone impact frequency.
