Smart repairs in Southampton/Winchester/Salisbury area?
Discussion
Hi all,
a scuff has appeared on my car (public car park, gah).
I recon it's minor enough that a smart repair operative (eg. ChipsAway or similar) should be able to sort it out.
I think the quality of the repair will depend to a large extent on the franchisee in question and I've never needed to do this before. Does anyone have experience of this, or know a good guy in the area mentioned in the topic?
Cheers,

I know a great guy in Basingstoke. He has repaired a multitude of scratches / dents in a few of our cars over the past few years, namely:
PM me if you want his number
- Removing massive scratching on the back of our B6 S4 when our lad decided to colour it in with a stone
- Putting the front of my Merc back together and re-spraying it when I hit a deer
- Putting the front of my wife's Touareg back together and re-spraying it when she had a slight coming together with a Nissan Navara
PM me if you want his number
I used these guys in Southampton - mainly as they had good feedback on the Check-a-trade site.

I had managed to rub the side of the car along a concrete post damaging the paint on the rear door, rear wing and leading edge of the rear wheel arch. If I am honest I thought it was so bad that I doubted they would be able to fix it, but they did and you would never know, you cannot see a thing. Not bad considering I was also concerned that the paint would not set properly given it was a freezing cold day and was pi55ing with rain (this was between Christmas and New Year).
No idea if it’s true of not but the chap who did my car said that he was usually permanently based at a BMW branch to do their minor repairs.
Whether true or not, I would recommend their work, I was very impressed. And 4 months later there is no sign of any degradation in the paint and people who had seen the initial damage are always amazed at how it just ‘disappeared’.
Think it cost me about £160 plus VAT…..I think.
