Hey,

Just need some advice on where to get a dent and a scratch repaired in the Edinburgh area. I'm thinking of ChipsAway in Edinburgh but has anyone got any experience of them. I've seen the many other ChipsAway reviews on PH but there seems to be nothing on Edinburgh (or I may just suck at searching previous posts).

Also any other recommendations would be welcome. I'm not too fussed on an immaculate paint finish as it is really a runaround and clearly nothing special but it'd be nice if it was a good job. For reference Kwik Fit have quoted me £200 (Rip-off; I'm a student)

The damage was caused whilst my car was bay parked. I'm guessing someone hit it whilst reversing out and the cock never left their details.

I've attached some pictures of the damage to show the damage. You may not be able to see in the pictures but there is also a bit of paintwork which has cracked.

thanks for the help!

Cheers for that Mike

I'll give it a call tomorrow but is that number correct, 07771271271980? It seems a bit long!

The suage line on the arch has been crushed and will need some skillful rebuilding there.

ChipsAway Jamie Birks is near you, I can personally vouch for his work. He runs a flagship ChipsAway business and sits on the network group responsible for continuous improvement and in-house product R&D.

Standard disclaimer, we're part of the same network but there are no formal links between his business and mine, etc.

HTH,

Tol

Thanks for that Anatol but unfortunately Jamie doesn't service the Edinburgh area. He in turn recommended James Felton who came and had a look but wasn't able to fix the dent so I opted to go to ECS Smart Repair (0131 661 1666) just off Easter Road.

I've posted pics of the repair which I think was a pretty good job. It also only set me back £120. To top it off they even allowed me to use their ramp after the repair to check the car's underbody.
