Some idiot.............................

has keyed my car, the tail gate and drivers side door are the targets and they look pretty messy, can anyone recommend an outlet that'll repair it quickly and not to expensive?

Are these ChipsAway people any good?

This happened on my driveway New Years Eve, really bugs me, people are such scum these days!

 

[Steven]

I hate that. I don't know if Chips Away will be any good for a keyed car Savi...

 

[twincamms]

Great.............................

that means a body shop job, gonna cost a mint no doubt, pointless claiming on the insurance..............................

Re: Great.............................

How bad is it? Have you got a photo?

I 've used Chips Away for a number of repairs and they have always be excellent, you can't see the repair.

Depending on the depth and length of the scratch they can fix it using an airbrush. They don't charge to come out and have a look.

On one of my BMW's I had a repair by the BMW bodyshop and one by Chips Away. The guy who bought it from me had a RAC inspection and they picked up on the BMW repair and not the Chips Away. They said the BMW repair was absolutely fine, but they just mentioned that it had a repair in the past.

I'd give it a shot.

Cheers Poggy.............................

are they expensive?

 

[poggy]

I had a quite large repair to the front bumper with a bit of filler etc and it was £120.00 inc VAT. That was for metallic paint and it was a perfect match, he even made me a touch up stick as well.

Mine's in at Chips Away today, £180 all in, will let you know how it goes..........

 

[JjPhoenix]

what ****s! :tosser: hope it comes back looking a!

 

[wolfracepunto]

£180! Must have been a bad one Im sure they'll do a decent job of it...

 

[JAFFY]

mine was keyed from front to back, 1 massive squiggley line-i was not impressed

 

[JjPhoenix]

why do ppl feel the need to do that sort of ****, mine narrowly missed a can of paintstripper last halloween

I picked the car up last night at 1730 and couldn't really inspect it properly in the dark, so I parted with my £180 and off I drove.........................

Today however, in the cold light of day I inspected the work, it was horrific, swirl marks, scratches, overspay, horrible horrible job, worst workmanship I've ever seen.

So I went back to the workshop and told the ChipsAway chap in no uncertain terms that I was not happy, he offered to repaint it, I refused and said I'd never let him near my car again, he then offered me a full refund which I accepted.

I then went to Marshalls Body Shop and they gave me a quote to rectify this cock-up..............................£675 all in, so I'm having it done, there is no way I can leave ot looking as it does, the saga continues....................

 

[Steven]

Chips Away are good for dents and small stone chips, but anything else, well... Did you shop around Savi? £675 seems a lot for what needs done.

 

[Helz]

Could almost get a full respray for that

 

[twincamms]

I'm going through my insurer, they asked me to get two quotes, Marshalls £675 and Autocraft £800.................................
