Chips Away or similar....
Discussion
I know this topic must have been done to death before but searching the Forum draws a blank.
Usual problem. I have a scratch on the rear near-side wing of my car where a bag caught it, it's quite deep at one end, about 4 inches long. I'm pretty fussy about stuff like this and want a really good repair.
Any recommendations for a mobile repairer? There are several Chips Away blokes in the area plus a number of other firms and I've no idea who to speak to, so if you know the name of one who's good I'd appreciate a recommendation.

From what I've been told Chips Away are only as good as the individual who you get.
If you're near Bury, have a look for Martin Brearley (Millet Street) or Apollo Motors (Merton Street).
Grotty places (well, Apollo's certainly is) but a superb job. Did a rebuild of an badly damaged SL55 recently and it came out sweet.
(And no, I've no connections to either, but happy to recommend them

)I agree about Chips Away, there was a big thread on PH a while ago about how different outfits will vary, they don't even all use the same paint system.
Forgot to add that I'm in Oldham, Preston is probably a bit far but Bury could be an option if I don't get anything nearer.
Thanks for your responses.

I use a guy called Rob who owns a company Smart Tech, who specialise in paint repairs. The owners club I'm in for my car use this guy as he is well priced and does a good job, he's based near Manchester and I think can come to you as well. If I had to choose someone I'd use him, and trying to search for his details, company is Smart Tech and are based near Goldborne I think, am trying to find the website.

They come to you though, so I'd let whoever you choose decide if it's a bit far
