I've got a bumper scuff and couple of small dings I want sorted before selling, was planning on using chips away but wondered if there any other recommendations local to Farnborough area?

A bit of internet research has found a place in Farnham called Bumps and Scuffs, but can't find any reviews on quality of work.

Whoever you use just make sure they have personally been in the business for a few years.
At least then you know they've got some experience under their belt and they aren't using your p&j for practice.

The local Chipsaway chap Mark Ward (I'm in Camberley) does a great job, tidied up a scuff on our Golf, perfect colour match and finish. Keen on his cars, which is always nice.

Strongly recommend Autocraft, as a Detailer myself i always point any paintwork repairs to these guys. They take there time and ensure all customers get the best quality finish. I've never had any complaints or comebacks other than positive feedback.

Give them a call and let us know how you get on.

Sorry - forgot to post a follow up!

Top job all round... superb finish, you wouldn't ever know there was a scuff on the bumper! It was soggy wet day, so Mark collected the car, took his to his workshop to do the repair, then delivered it back around lunchtime last Saturday.

Here was the before pic... scrape right on the leading edge of the bumper back down to black plastic. All now gone, and as good as new.

Sounds good, can you PM me his number please?

How much did that cost to repair?

If you recommend him why not put the details in the supplier directory in this section?

Just contacted these guys and some from another similar thread on here.

Anyone had any recent dealings with small paint repairs around Woking?

Merry Christmas (nothing says it like a scratched bonnet!)

I use a superb guy in Basingstoke. He's repaired numerous paint and psnel problems on lots of my cars, ranging from an errant deer re-arranging the front of a Merc, an errant wife re-arranging the front of her Touareg and an errant 4year old "colouring in" the entire back of my old S4 with a stone

His work is exceptional
