Scratches. Dents. Paint.
Fixed right the first time.
Not every repair needs a major collision claim. From a parking lot door ding to a full panel repaint, Weirs Collision Center handles cosmetic auto body repairs with the same certified technicians and PPG paint systems used on full collision rebuilds.
Professional cosmetic repair — no job too small.
A scratch from a shopping cart. A dent from a wayward door. Faded, peeling, or chipped paint from a Maine winter. These aren't catastrophic — but they matter. An untreated scratch leads to rust. A cosmetic repair done wrong stands out every time you look at your car.
At Weirs Collision Center in Arundel, we bring the same certified technicians, computerized color-matching, and PPG professional paint systems to cosmetic work as we do to full collision rebuilds. The result is a repair that's genuinely invisible — not just patched.
Serving Kennebunk, Biddeford, Saco, Wells, Ogunquit, and all of York County with no-hassle estimates and lifetime-warranted results.
Cosmetic repairs done to a professional standard.
Every service below is performed by I-CAR-trained technicians using professional tools and PPG paint — not body filler slapped on and sprayed with a rattle can.
From key scratches to parking lot scuffs, we repair the damaged clear coat, primer, or base coat and blend the surrounding panel using computerized PPG color matching — so the repair disappears completely.
Traditional dent repair for steel body panels — including door dents, hood dents, and fender damage where the paint surface has been broken or the metal creased beyond what PDR can address. See also our PDR page for paintless options.
Cracked, scuffed, or scraped bumpers are one of the most common cosmetic repairs. We repair or replace, then refinish to a factory color match — including flexible-part additives for plastic bumper covers that prevent future cracking.
Rock chips and road debris create entry points for rust. Professional chip repair — filled, sealed, and color-matched with PPG systems — stops rust before it starts and restores the finish to like-new condition.
Maine winters are brutal on body panels. We cut out and replace rusted metal, treat surrounding areas to stop corrosion spread, and refinish to match. For underbody protection, ask about our ResistAll undercoating service.
When fading, oxidation, or damage covers a full panel, a panel repaint is the right fix. We prep, prime, spray, and clear-coat using PPG professional systems — with a multi-stage blend into adjacent panels for a seamless result.
Door dings from parking lots and minor impacts that haven't broken the paint surface are often ideal candidates for paintless dent repair. We assess every dent and recommend the most cost-effective solution — PDR or traditional repair.
UV exposure and harsh Maine winters dull and oxidize paint — especially on older or darker-colored vehicles. We can restore faded panels to match the rest of the vehicle using multi-stage PPG paint and clear coat application.

Why PPG paint makes
all the difference.
The most common complaint after a body shop repair isn't the bodywork — it's the paint. Slight color differences, orange-peel texture, or clear coat that peels after a year. These aren't inevitable. They're what happens when the wrong products or shortcuts are used.
As an authorized PPG refinish partner, we use the same professional-grade paint systems that OEM manufacturers specify. That means professional mixing, proper flash times, and a factory-quality finish every time.
-
1Computerized Color Matching Your vehicle's color code is run through PPG's mixing system to create an exact formula — accounting for age and fade of your existing paint.
-
2Professional Surface Prep Proper sanding, priming, and sealing before any color is applied. This is where most cheap repairs fail — and why ours don't.
-
3Base Coat & Clear Coat Application Applied in controlled conditions with proper flash times between coats. No shortcuts that compromise adhesion or gloss.
-
4Natural Light Inspection Every completed repair is reviewed in natural light before your vehicle is released — because that's the real test.
Why the paint shop matters as much as the bodywork
What separates a repair that lasts from one that doesn't.
Simple from start to finish.
Getting a cosmetic repair done shouldn't be an ordeal. Here's how the process works at Weirs.
Stop in anytime — walk-ins always welcome. We'll assess the damage, recommend the right repair method, and give you a written estimate. Online estimates also available.
No appointment neededWe'll confirm parts and materials, set a drop-off date, and walk you through what the repair involves — including whether this is a cash-pay situation or worth going through insurance.
Transparent pricingBodywork completed by I-CAR-trained technicians. PPG paint mixed and applied in-house. Every repair follows OEM procedures for your specific vehicle and panel type.
PPG paint · in-houseNatural-light color inspection before you see it. We don't release a vehicle until the repair is genuinely invisible. Your lifetime warranty documentation comes with the keys.
Lifetime warranty issuedMany cosmetic repairs — especially scratches, small dents, and paint chips — aren't worth filing an insurance claim. Filing a claim for a minor repair can raise your premium and leave a claim on your record. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether the out-of-pocket cost makes more sense, and we keep cosmetic repair pricing fair and transparent.
If the damage is significant enough to justify a claim, we handle the entire insurance process — estimate submission, adjuster communication, supplemental claims, and direct billing. You pay your deductible. We handle everything else. We're a preferred DRP partner for State Farm, GEICO, MMG, and Patriot Insurance. Learn more ›
