The fast, effective and only alternative to Body Shop and SMART Repair
Get the facts now!
If you are looking for a complete standalone business opportunity or you’d like to add to your existing SMART repair, valet or detailing business then this is the page for you.
Many SMART repair technicians will not even attempt to repair paint scratches in the middle of doors, roofs or bonnets because in most instances the whole panel would need to be re-finished and in some cases blending will need to be done.
This is difficult enough in a body shop environment let alone when trying to work outside in poor conditions.
When it comes to repairing bonnet stone chips you have an additional problem. First of all you must have a very, very close colour match but even then if you have more than 4 or 5 chips the bonnet can often look worse than before you started.
Sprayless Scratch Repair can help with both car paint scratches and stone chipped bonnets.
Even bonnets that have hundreds or perhaps thousands of those tiny chips can be repaired to a satisfactory standard without the need for spraying.
So, although SSR is not perfect it has stood the test of time and proven to be perfectly acceptable to both trade and retail customers in more than 17 countries.
Before and After SSR
What Is SSR?
SSR is a patented product and process that will allow you to cosmetically repair scrapes, scuffs, scratches and stone chips to car paint work.
As most of you will already know, vehicle manufacturers recommend a viewing distance of between 1 and 2 meters.
Just so you know, 90% of SSR paint repairs become virtually undetectable at a one meter viewing distance.
SSR is lightening fast
SSR will allow you to repair a totally peppered bonnet in around 20 minutes, individual scratches in 2 to 10 minutes and complete cars with scratches on every panel “the complete walk around” in an hour or two depending on the damage and of course the size of the car. It goes without saying 4X4’s take longer than Ford Fiestas’.
SSR is easy to use
No previous experience is required! No specialist tools needed! With just a few hours training somebody with no experience could be completing their first SSR paint repair.
No matter what you think know or don’t know about repairing car paint scratches and stone chips, SSR can have you proficient in touch-up repairs in just one short day.
SSR is guaranteed
SSR paint repairs are guaranteed not to wash off, even with a power washer. We offer a “lifetime” guarantee to our customers, i.e. “if you still own the vehicle, it’s still guaranteed”
The Market.
Every car at some point in its life will require your services with most requiring repeat service over a number of years.
As any savvy business owner will tell you, repeat service and orders are what can build value into your business. Without repeat custom you are dead in the water.
In the UK alone we have over 30 million vehicles and our own research has indicated that at any one time 30% of these vehicles would benefit from the services of an SSR paint repair technician.
Depending on the population of the area you are willing to work, this means thousands of prospective customers need you to either help maintain or improve the value and appearance of their cars.
You can work both retail and trade, unlike some franchisees you are not and never will be restricted to who you can work for.
We have successful technicians who only work retail, others who only work trade and some who are quite happy to work both.
It has been estimated that the total value of SMART repair in the UK could be as high as £1.5 billion.
To date the highest earnings for a single day using only the SSR system stands at £640.
Of course that is not typical and as with any business your earnings are subject to the effort you put in.
That said, it does give you an indication of the power a SSR paint repair system can have on your income.
Buy a job or build a business?
Are you looking to buy a job or build a business?
That’s a pretty serious question by the way.
You see, the success rate for new businesses surviving 5 years is not too inspiring, according to some naysayers the failure rate is as high as 80%. And, given another 5 years (10 years in total) 50% of the remaining 20% will fail.
Personally I don’t think this is the full story and anyway, even if you have a job what’s to say you’ll have it in 10 or even 5 years from now? Long gone are the days of a job for life.
Businesses stop trading for many reasons including of course that they are not profitable.
What I’d like to quickly talk about here is not the failure rate but rather the fact that you have a choice, buy a job or build a business?
So, what’s the difference?
Well you can be tied to a business as much as you can or even more so, than a job. I, among millions of other business owners can testify to this first hand.
In my last business I got myself so tied up in doing the work that I should have either outsourced or delegated that one week I worked 108 hours.
When I got to this point it hit me right between the eyes… I’d swopped what was a double the average paying job where I only worked 6 months of the year for less money, more work, more hours, more stress and just more, more, more of everything I didn’t want or need.
This definitely wasn’t what I had in mind when I started out in business, or was it?
Unbeknown to me this probably was what I had in mind but didn’t even know it.
You see, what you need to do is to start with the END in mind, what do you want from your business, where do you want it to be in 3 years or 5 years or even 10 years from now?
Will you want to sell your business or pass it on to your family?
If you don’t work on this now, you are very likely to end up with exactly what you don’t want.
My advice is to build a business that will work for you and not the other way around. In order to achieve this certain factors need to be built into your business right from the start, factors such as:
Minimum Investment
There are thousands of business opportunities out there ranging from just a few pounds to millions of pounds and everything in between. The trick is to find one that is not only within your budget but which leverages your talents, skills and ambitions.
It must also tie in with your own values, if you try to work against your values you will eventually fail. It may take a year or 10 years but fail you certainly will.
The investment required to start a scratch and chip repair business with SSR can be as low as £2,995 plus VAT.
What other business, SMART Repair or otherwise can enable you to earn as much as £640 in one day for as little as £2,995 plus VAT?
You will of course need transport which doubles as your mobile office, you’ll also need a mobile telephone and insurance.
Training is included at no extra cost and some administrative tools, sample adverts, flyers and business cards come as standard.
Website design, hosting and leads can be added to your package, please ask for details when ordering your system.
We also have exclusive access to card payment and telecoms facilities at discounted prices for your benefit. This will definitely help with the retail side of your business, if people can pay you using their credit card then a £40 scratch repair almost becomes an impulse buy.
Easy to teach others
In order for you to build a business you must be able to leverage other peoples time, if you don’t you will simply be swapping your time for money, basically buying a job.
Swapping time for money may not sound like a bad idea to you, but think of it this way…
What happens when you go on holiday?
What happens when you are ill?
What happens when you can’t get to work for any other reason you can think of?
You lose your income, worse still you lose your customers because no matter what reason you have for not turning up, your card will be marked as unreliable and you will lose business, eventually you’ll lose your business altogether.
Profitable on day 1
Once you have invested in your SSR system and training you are ready for work. The only thing you will need to add is transport and your own enthusiasm.
SSR Europe will supply you with all the tools and materials you need including a complete set of marketing materials which you can tailor to your own requirements.
Potential Earnings as an Independent Technician
We have to make a number of assumptions for the purpose of this analysis. Simply replace the figures with more realistic figures for your particular operation.
We’ll also assume that the complete vehicle will be polished with the SSR proprietary polish and you repair only 100 new or used vehicles per month. This equates to five per day working a five day week which is a very conservative number.

POTENTIAL INCOME
Total annual income based on repairing 25 vehicles per week based on 48 weeks per year £54,720. Less £7,200 costs and expenses would leave an annual profit of £47,520.
The above figures are for an end user, working on his own and taking four weeks holiday.
I have also assumed that the 100 vehicles are split 60:40 between trade and private clients and that the split therein between panel repairs v complete vehicles is 80:20.
Make your business scalable
After owning your new Sprayless Scratch Repair business for a week, month or year, whatever time scale you are comfortable with you will be in a position to start building your empire.
You can teach SSR to anyone you know and trust to work along side you.
When you are both confident you can then hand over all the work flow and repeat business you have built up paying your new employee half of the money he makes each week.
It’s now time for you to start the whole process again.
This means you can now be away from work knowing that you will still have an income of sorts and once you have done this at least twice, you know you will actually have a fulltime income even when you are not at work.
You now have a business!
If you have a “no competition agreement” with your employees I can absolutely guarantee we will not supply them with systems or materials without your written consent.
This should give you total peace of mind that once trained they will not run off with your customers or set up in competition against you.
Rinse and repeat the above as many times as you like to build a business that you can not only leave for holidays, be proud of and scale to what ever size suites you.
So, it doesn’t matter if you are a hands on type of person or you’d rather build a managerial type of business, Sprayless Scratch Repair is a great option to look into.
