From what I hear chips away can be a bit hit and miss depending on who you get. Best bet is to post on the local area forum from where you live and get some feedback. Personally, I would first contact a skilled detailer who may be able to remove the scratch with some paint correction or take it to body shop.

It really depends on the type of repair that you require. Small damage or low down (bumpers, sills, wing mirrors etc.) are suitable for SMART repair. Other damage would require further assessing.

Also quite critical is 'why' the repair. Is it your P+J, are you keeping or selling the car, is a lease return etc.

CA, as already pointed out, are very hit + miss, as operators can be very new (i.e.inexperienced). Better to google Smart repair in your area and find some more experienced independents. Ask for client referrals and check them prior to commissioning any work.

HIH.

good replies, I would look in your local section, there's bound to be a happy customer in there.
Doesn't really matter if its a chopsahoy or independent as long as they've got a proven track record.

Just had the rear quarter bumper done by the local (Reading)Chipsaway to remove a large back to plastic scrape. Delighted with the results.

I used Chipsaway in Bristol (Paul) and he did a great job on my rear bumper. I did my research first and he had a good reputation.

What are you asking? Are you wanting to know who would be best to repair some damage on your car (or jetski?!), in which case maybe you should provide a bit more information. Or are you seeking information about SMART repair companies in general, then maybe you need to be a bit more specific on what you want to know.
