spot repair
Fixing small areas
Spot repair is fixing a specific damaged area rather than replacing or refinishing an entire surface.
The term appears most often in auto body work, where a technician might repair a single dent or scratch without repainting the whole panel: The shop did a spot repair on the fender for half the cost of a full respray.
The approach saves time and money when damage is localized.
