Body and paint work for JBR cars is done at a partner workshop, not in the car park. A technician inspects and photographs the damage where the car is parked, the car is collected, panels are repaired and repainted in a spray booth, and it is returned to your building. WhatsApp or call, 24/7.

What's included

  • Dent repair, by paintless dent removal where the paint is unbroken, or by panel beating and filler.
  • Bumper repair: plastic welding of cracks, new brackets and clips, and refitting of parking sensors.
  • Panel replacement, and alignment of the gaps on doors, wings, bonnet and boot lid.
  • Surface preparation: sanding, rust treatment, primer and masking.
  • Colour matching from the car's paint code, with spray-out test cards and blending into the next panel.
  • Base coat and clear coat applied in a spray booth and baked, then flatted and polished.

Signs you need it

  • A scraped bumper corner from a basement pillar or a tight ramp.
  • Door dings from the car in the next bay.
  • Clear coat peeling or turning chalky on the roof and bonnet.
  • Rust bubbles around a stone chip or a wheel arch.
  • Accident damage, with the police report in hand.

Body and paint: How it works

From first message to driving away usually takes under an hour.

  1. Photos and inspection

    Send photos by WhatsApp, or have a technician look at the car in your parking bay. For accident damage, have the Dubai Police report ready, as workshops need it before starting.

  2. Repair and repaint

    The car is collected. Panels are straightened or replaced, primed and painted in a booth. Colour is matched to the paint code and checked against the car in daylight.

  3. Final check and return

    Once the clear coat has cured, the panel is polished and the gaps, sensors and lights are checked. The car is washed and brought back to your tower.

Good to know in JBR

Paint has a hard life by the beach. Salt spray settles on the car overnight, wind-blown sand works like a fine abrasive, and summer sun breaks down the clear coat on flat panels first. A chip that reaches bare metal can start rusting within weeks in this air. Indoors, most damage comes from basement pillars, ramp kerbs and doors opened in narrow bays. Fresh paint should be left unwaxed for a few weeks.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Called at 1am after a flight. Someone answered straight away and the car was running before 2. Warranty written on the invoice, old battery taken away.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Body and paint: common questions

Do I need a police report for body repairs?

For accident damage, yes. Garages in Dubai are required to see a police report before repairing it, even for a small scrape with no other car involved. Minor accidents can be reported through the Dubai Police app. Wear such as faded clear coat or stone chips does not need a report.

Will the new paint match the rest of the car?

The paint code gives the formula, but paint on the car has aged in the sun, so the mix is adjusted and tested on a card held against the panel. Metallic and pearl colours are blended into the neighbouring panel so the eye cannot find the edge.

Can a dent be fixed without repainting?

Often, if the paint is not cracked and the dent is not on a sharp crease or a panel edge. Paintless dent removal works the metal back into shape from behind with rods. It keeps the factory paint, which is the reason to choose it when it is possible.
