The 3 Types of Car Scratches and How We Can Fix Them

Dealing with a scratch on your car can be frustrating, and it can be challenging to determine whether your vehicle requires Nissan repairs. Whether you need an oil change or urgent maintenance, our dealership proudly provides quality service beyond our customer’s expectations. Let’s look at the three types of car scratches and how our dealership fixes them. 

Clear Coat

This type of scratch affects the outer surface of your car, but not the paint, making it the easiest to fix. A clear coat scratch can occur for many reasons, but flying debris is the most popular cause. To repair the problem, we apply another layer of clear coat to cover the scratch.

Paint

A paint scratch can cause the paint on your vehicle to peel off, but it doesn’t break the paint’s surface. Unfortunately, some clear coat scratches turn into paint scratches if you don’t address the problem or if the area experiences repeated impact. Our dealership can assess the problem and ensure you receive a perfect color match for the repair.

Primer/Deep

Primer/deep scratches break through your vehicle’s paint, exposing the metal. These types of scratches are serious and can lead to other issues if not addressed promptly. The cause of these scratches can range from age to an accident.

The repair process is necessary and should be done by a professional if you want to achieve the best results. We will apply a new primer, then apply paint and a clear coat.
