“Why Does a Small Dent Cost So Much to Fix — Are Spare Panels & Labour Mark‑ups to Blame?”

After a small dent o r scratch, owners often find that repairing it paint repair, reshaping, replacement of panels becomes surprisingly expensive o r time‑consuming. Is that because replacement parts for Tiggo 8 Pro are rare o r costly in Pakistan? o r is labor and painting cost inflated because workshops charge extra for imported‑car panels?

Repair costs for small dents o r scratches can be high because:

Replacement parts for Tiggo 8 Pro are imported and limited in Pakistan, raising cost.

Paint matching and labor for imported SUVs is more expensive compared to local brands.

Even small dents may require panel reshaping, repainting, and color matching, which adds to the price.

Tips to save money:

Use paintless dent repair PDR for minor dents — cheaper and faster.

Maintain regular protective coatings to prevent deep scratches and reduce repaint needs.

Always compare quotes from multiple workshops before replacement o r painting.
