You don’t have to be a rock star or some other celebrity to have tinted windows in your vehicle.

You might be surprised just how long a list there is of the benefits:

•   there is certainly the privacy and comfort that tinted windows bring, of course;
•   but there’s also the stylish, elegant and prestige look it gives practically any vehicle – and there’s no harm in passersby and other road users thinking that you might indeed be a celebrity;
•   tinted windows also reduce glare from the sun;
•   tinting reduces radiated heat by up to 63%;
•   UV radiation is reduced by 99%;
•   a tinting film improves safety by reducing the risk of flying glass if you’re in a collision;
•   security is increased thanks to the strengthened glass you have from the application of a tinting film – not to mention the deterrence against car crime;
•   it protects the interior of your vehicle from damage and fading in constant sunlight;
•   by protecting the interior, it helps to maintain the market value of your vehicle;
•   it removes annoying – and potentially dangerous – headlight dazzle and glare from other vehicles;
•   it improves the visual security of your vehicle;
•   it reduces the cost of air-conditioning;
•   it lets your passengers have a better view of car video and TV screens; and
•   it enhances the colour and appearance of the windows.

A chip or crack in your windscreen is potentially very dangerous. Clearly, it represents a weak point in the glass, which may break at any time. If the crack is at eye level and obscures your view of the road ahead, the danger is even more serious.

In the past, you might have been tempted to replace the entire windscreen if it had a chip or crack. At Stratton Smart, we are completely up with the times with modern techniques, and can save you the expense of a whole windscreen replacement by making a safe, lasting and thoroughly professional repair of any reasonably small chip or crack – one that is less than about the diameter of a £1 coin.

Windscreen cracks and your MOT

If your vehicle is more than 3 years old, it is almost certain to need an MOT each year.

Because of the safety concerns of even the smallest crack obscuring your vision of the road ahead, or spreading and leading to the whole windscreen blowing at speed, the MOT test pays particular attention to the condition of the windscreen (along with the windscreen washers and wipers too).

If the windscreen is chipped or cracked, your vehicle may fail its MOT. The professionals you contact here at Stratton Smart can advise you whether the windscreen needs to be repaired – or replaced – before you enter the vehicle for its annual MOT test.

Windscreen insurance

You might have taken the precaution of buying a motor insurance policy that covers the repair or replacement of a damaged windscreen.

This is all very well, but making a claim on your insurance is rarely a straight forward matter and almost always seem to take a long time to resolve. You also have no guarantee that the standard of work done by the insurance company’s chosen supplier is anything like as competent as ours.

Avoid what might turn into a two week wait, and be certain of a thoroughly professional windscreen repair by contacting us here at Stratton Smart and – anywhere in the Manchester or Greater Manchester area – our mobile units can get to you straight away. And that means whether the vehicle is with you at home, parked where you work or on the open road.

If you are looking for automotive paint repair in Stockport, Stratton Smart has the answer for you.

Even if you are in the Manchester or Greater Manchester area – or even further afield – look no further than us for a professional, quality assured and competitively priced paint job.

The Stratton Smart way repairs only that paintwork that need to be tackled – and to tackle it well. It means we can save you the expensive job of filling and repainting an entire body panel. Instead, we concentrate on repairing just the actual scuffs, dents, scratches and dings on the bodywork and even your alloy wheels.

By focusing on the minor paint repairs that need to be done, our fully mobile teams can give you:

•   a service brought straight to your doorstep – whether that’s at home or where you work – and delivered by our fully equipped mobile workshops;
•   work that is completed in just a fraction of the time – usually just a couple of hours;
•   a high quality finish that meets every commercial standard; and
•   a price that is much lower than you would have to pay using traditional body shop methods.

Having had more than 20 years in the field of car paint repair, and now supported by the largest network of repair specialists in the UK, we combine the best of locally focused service backed by a nationally recognised brand.

All of that time, we have had just two main objectives in mind – to deliver an exceptional standard of repair as well as excellent customer service. That’s why the Stratton Smart specialists you meet have every aspect of their work thoroughly assessed and why they are encouraged to develop existing skills through further accreditation.

At Stratton Smart we are fully aware of Health and Safety regulations on the control of hazardous isocyanate, It’s why we make sure that all chemicals and paint we use in our repairs are isocyanate free.

Returning the bodywork of your car to pristine condition not only gives you the satisfaction of driving an obviously well cared for vehicle, but creates a better impression on your customers and, of course, raises the resale value of your vehicle.

Whatever the make or model of your vehicle, at Stratton Smart we are able to make some of the quickest, most convenient and cost effective paint repairs available – whether that’s bumper scuffs, paintwork scratches or those annoying and unsightly scrapes where you’ve kerbed your alloy wheels.

Car paint scratches are not only unsightly, but will drive down the resale value of your vehicle. Neglecting to undertake scratch removal or a chip repair on your car’s paintwork can also lead to chronic and escalating rust problems – meaning you could needlessly incur extra, but avoidable, costs in the future.

Previously, there was little incentive for car paint repair, thanks in part to the inconvenience of using costly car body repair outlets. But the good news is that with Stratton Smart’s Repair System, introduced to the UK over 20 years ago, there is now no excuse to leave those car scratches unattended.

• Quick and Convenient Service
• Professional Colour Matching
• Car Body Repairs

Typically, a Stratton Smart car scratch repair will take just a few hours to complete, at a fraction of the cost of using a traditional body shop. During the process, colour matching is undertaken to the manufacturer’s original code specification. Therefore, instead of an expensive paint repair across a whole panel, our Stratton Smart professionals only need to paint the damaged area. So whether you need one single car scratch removal, or multiple scuffs repaired and removed, the work can be undertaken in a relatively short amount of time, restoring your car paintwork to pristine quality.

Stratton Smart is convenient too! Many of the Stratton Smart network offer a mobile paint scratch removal and car paint repair service, and some operate from fixed-base CarCare Centres with many offering a collect and return service or courtesy car option. Wherever you are, you can be assured that Stratton Smart will save you time and help you avoid the hassle of finding a suitable appointment to fit around. Whether you’re at home, work, or even away on holiday, as a specialised car scratch repair service, Stratton Smart specialists will go the extra mile to make sure our service is centred around you.

What’s more, all work carried out by Stratton Smart specialists is fully guaranteed and of the highest quality.

Most headlight lenses on today’s vehicles are moulded plastic. That means that after a few years of use, you have probably noticed that the effects of the weather and road conditions have left the lenses faded and scratched.

In fact, your headlights get exposed to all kinds of corrosive forces – the likes of harmful UV rays, acid rain, bonded contaminants, other chemicals from the engine and the fumes of other vehicles, tree sap, bird lime, and squashed insects. This has a marked effect on the headlamp lenses, weakens them, and corrodes them from the outside inwards.

Deterioration of the lenses in this way not only detracts from the appearance of the vehicle, but if left untreated weakens the safety and effectiveness of the headlights themselves. As the cloudiness of the lenses quickly gets worse, it reduces the effectiveness of the headlights and reduces your visibility, making driving at night especially dangerous.

So, it is hardly surprising that the MOT test involves close scrutiny of your headlights and checks that the lenses and covers are in a good state of repair. Anything that alters the pattern of light passing through the lens, such as cracks, holes or even scratching could cause an MOT fail. If the beam pattern is blurred and the examiner cannot determine a distinctive cut off point, this is also a reason for failure.

To avoid these failures, but more importantly to restore the safety of your vehicle at night, you might do yourself a favour and let us perform a head lamp restoration service for your vehicle.

Stratton Smart’s team of head lamp restoration specialists are fully mobile, so can come to your home or visit your workplace for the few hours of work that might be needed to restore your headlights to a sparkling new appearance and enhanced effectiveness and safety. Our fleet of vans are equipped as mobile workshops, so you choose whatever place is convenient for you for the restoration work to be done

Whether you are a private or corporate customer, we pride ourselves in the excellence of the service we deliver – if you are in the Manchester or Greater Manchester area, or indeed anywhere else in the country.

Your vehicle represents an expensive investment and your safety in it is our priority. Our head lamp restoration services are designed to improve the appearance of your valuable vehicle and to restore its safety – especially when you are driving at night.

Vehicle leasing has become a widely popular alternative to owning a car. A lease allows you to drive a new vehicle practically all of the time, since you return the car at the end of the lease agreement and, if you so choose, lease another straight away.

For all the benefits of leasing, though, you need to be aware of the requirement to return the vehicle in good condition and an acceptable state of repair. Failure to do that is likely to leave you with some unexpected and unwelcome charges by the lease company.

The end of lease vehicle inspections you can instruct us to carry out here at Stratton Smart may alert you to any damage or what could be perceived to be unreasonable wear and tear so that you may carry out any necessary remedial work before handing back the vehicle – saving yourself the cost of additional lease company charges into the bargain.

What happens when you hand back a lease car?

You are likely to find that the lease company carries out a rigorous inspection and assessment when you return a vehicle, so as well as our own end of lease vehicle inspection, and reference to the details of the agreement you signed with the company, you might also want to check out that:

•   you have had the vehicle serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule, and made sure that the service record is stamped each time before being returned to you with the vehicle – if any services have been missed the lease company is still likely to charge you for them and even add a further penalty for the reduction in market value if the vehicle does not have a complete service log;
•   your lease agreement invariably has a mileage limit – and you will be charged a penalty if it is exceeded – so think about reducing your daily mileage as you near the end of the lease, in order to come within the mileage restrictions;
•   if the vehicle needs an MOT test, make sure that you get it done – and that it passes – before handing in the certificate when you return the vehicle;
•   make sure that all the documentation that you received when accepting the vehicle are there when you hand it back – in addition to the MOT certificate, this might include the V5 or log book, the service record and log, the user manual and any tax disc.

You also need to check that you are able to return all the keys that came with the vehicle – including any locking wheel nut – and that any immobilisers and remote locking devices are in working order.

Check that all the equipment supplied with the vehicle, including any spare wheel, jack and tool kit, emergency warning triangle, on-board computer, satellite navigation (including its data disc), in-car entertainment system and other accessories are all present and in good working order.

Remove any badges, labels or advertising unless otherwise agreed in advance with the lease company. If the removal of these items leaves marks on the paintwork or is the cause of any discoloration, this needs to be made good.

Finally, check that the tyres are within the legal tread limit and properly inflated and that all lights and indicators work.

At Stratton Smart, our end of vehicle lease inspections will ensure that when you hand back the car, you typically will not face penalties from the lease company.

The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) sets standards for assessing fair wear and tear that is identified when the vehicle you leased is handed back to the company.

BVRLA’s definition of fair wear and tear is as follows:

“Fair Wear and Tear occurs when normal usage causes acceptable deterioration to a vehicle. It is not to be confused with damage, which occurs as a result of a specific event or series of events such as impacts, inappropriate stowing of items, harsh treatment, negligent acts or omissions”.

This is the standard at the heart of our wear and tear inspections at Stratton Smart in Stockport.

What we do

Our wear and tear inspection is thorough. If we identify any damage likely to fall outside the BVRLA’s standard of fair wear and tear, we’ll not only tell you but also suggest the appropriate repair methods. Repairing the vehicle before you return it to the leasing company is clearly preferable – and typically less expensive – than having the company charge you for those repairs.

The majority of repairs we are able to carry out here at Stratton Smart – usually in less than a day and at a cost of up to 50% less than a traditional body shop!

We inspect the condition of the vehicle bodywork, interior, glass and wheels/trims. On the basis of that inspection, we will identify the repairs required and as reflected in the BVRLA’s fair wear and tear standards:

•   Essential Repair – this is damage beyond BVRLA’s fair wear & tear standard, and must be rectified to avoid the lease company charging you to rectify them;
•   Desirable Repair – this is damage which might be considered “light”, “minor” or otherwise permitted within the fair wear and tear standards, but which a leasing company might nevertheless still assess as chargeable;
•   Fair Wear & Tear – this damage is within BVRLA’s fair wear and tear standard and should not result in a charge.

So that your vehicle may be booked in at a time convenient for you, we ask that you request your fair wear and tear inspection approximately ten weeks before the vehicle is due for return to the lease company.

It is also important that you get your vehicle to us cleaned (inside and out), recently washed, dry and at a time of day when light conditions are good. If it is not supplied in this way, Stratton Smart will proceed with the inspection in so far as is possible, but the effectiveness and thoroughness of the inspection will be limited, and regrettably no discount or refund will be available.
