IF you drive a vehicle, it makes sense to become familiar with the company Scratch it – Match it. Based at Lynch’s Lane in Upper Gerald Griffin Street, beside Patsy Nichol’s Bar, owner Sean Clinton operates his paint and bumper repair service at Scratch it – Match it whilst also providing a mobile service that allows him to mend your vehicle at your door. Working in the car body repair business for more than a dozen years, Sean makes clear that Scratch it – Match it is about minor accident damage to paint work and small dents, not crash repairs.
“We offer a collect and return service for your car or can repair on site, where ever you are. You can also ring 087-2725300 to make an appointment here at Upper Gerald Griffin Street. Being so central is handy for a lot of drivers and in virtually all cases, I can repair the vehicle’s damage on a same day basis”.
His company’s speciality is SMART (small to medium area refinish technology) technology to keep the repair area small. Of course, this keeps costs down and Scratch it – Match it can offer you highly competitive rates compared to conventional body repair workshops.
“At the city premises and in my mobile van I have paint mixing technology and all the tools to repair and weld injured bumpers and minor dents,” explains Sean Clinton. “We can match any paint on any vehicle and should your car be faded by sunlight for example, we have a buffing machine to bring it back to its original depth of colour”.
Scratch it – Match it opens 9am to 5.30pm in town and Sean provides his mobile service for repairs after hours.
“Our motto is, ‘scratch it or bend it, we’ll match it and mend it’”, he jokes, seriously. Call him for expert attention to damaged wheel arches, wings doors and scruffed bumpers and a written quotation is free. See facebook Scratch it – Match it and website www.si-mi.ie.
