I needed a few scratches fixed on my car doors and bumper. They completed the job quickly and to a really high standard. Pricing was very reasonable, and the car looked like it just came out of the showroom. Super happy with the outcome!

Had some serious bodywork issues - dents, chipped paint, and rust spots. They handled everything efficiently and kept me updated throughout. The final result was incredible: smooth finish, perfect paint match, and no sign of previous damage. Honest team, great communication, and fair prices.

I brought my car in after a minor collision, and I’m amazed at the results. They repaired the dent and scratches so perfectly, you’d never know anything happened. Color match was spot on, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommend!

Bumper repair

Plastic bumpers are usually repaired rather than replaced, which is much cheaper. Colour matching is what makes the difference between invisible and obvious.

around €70
Hourly rate
around €20 an hour
Colour matching
How much does colour matching cost in Lisbon?
Usually part of a paint job rather than a separate charge. Bring the paint code from the door jamb, since it saves the shop guessing on a sun-faded car.
As part of paint work
usually included
Hourly rate
around €20 an hour
Full respray
How much does a full respray cost in Lisbon?
The biggest body job there is, priced by preparation as much as paint. Quoted after inspection, because rust and old repairs are only found once sanding starts.

Paint repairs and touch-ups

Priced per panel, and blending into the surrounding panels is what protects the finish. Ask whether the quote includes blending or only the damaged area.

Side and rear glass is priced per vehicle. Clearing broken glass from the door and interior is part of the job and takes longer than the fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring car body repairers in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking car body repairers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring car body repairers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring car body repairers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say car body repairers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, car body repairers are usually called chapeiros (bate-chapa e pintura). That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find car body repairers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
