Kia Bongo · Scratch Repair
Light scratches machine-polished out, deeper ones filled and blended. Quoted for your Bongo, 1997-2026.
We do a scratch repair on the Kia Bongo regularly, and this page is what the job involves on this car specifically rather than on cars in general.
Run a fingernail across the scratch. If it does not catch, the scratch is in the clear coat and a machine polish will remove it completely in an afternoon. On a Kia Bongo (1997-2026) the parts and the labour time are specific to the model — it is a suv, which changes both, so we confirm the year before quoting rather than after.
The fine cobweb pattern visible in direct sun is wash-induced marring, caused by dirty sponges and automatic brush washes dragging sand across the paint. It polishes out in one pass, and it comes straight back unless the washing method changes. In Dubai, where there is fine sand on every surface, that is worth knowing.
Sportage and Seltos gearboxes want their fluid changed on the shorter interval here; the schedule assumes a cooler climate than this one. We check that alongside a scratch repair, plus a battery load test, because the car is already with us and finding a second fault later costs you a second visit.
Scratch Repair on a Bongo is quoted after inspection, because pricing this job from a description is guessing and you would be paying for the guess. Either way you get the number before any work starts, it includes VAT, and it does not move afterwards. Typical time on this job is 3 hours to 2 days, and we can do it where the car is.
Same technicians, same car. Pick what you need.
If your fingernail does not catch in it, yes — a machine polish removes it entirely. Anything deeper needs paint.
A polish-out on one panel is the low end. A fill-and-blend repair costs more but still far less than a full panel respray. We quote after seeing the depth.
Machine polishing is mobile. Anything that needs paint and a controlled environment happens at the workshop.
