Its always nice to share a positve experience
At some point my 17 year old pride and joy (Jag XJS Celebration) collected a horrid bit of paintwork damage on front left wing, I won't even described as a chip, it was worse than that. I suspect that someone working on the car dropped a spanner on it, but since it was spotted 1 week after the said work a year or so ago, I can't prove it. It was two pieces of damage each about the size of a penny (bit smaller), where the paint was off down to the primer. It looked horrid, and was getting worse as it aged.
Richard Carter, local Franchise of Chips Away was next door giving neighbour a quote so I asked him to have a look. He was reluctant to tackle it, concerned a) as to the difficulty of good colour match and b) as to the effectiveness of repair possible. In the end I had to pursuade him to give it a go, on the basis that even the worst case scenario he was describing was going to be an improvement over what was an ugly bit of damage
He not once put any pressure on me to commit to the business, in fact I had to pursuade him.
He did the work and all I can say is I can't even see where the damage was now, it is perfect, excellent! the cost? £90 inc VAT. I am a very happy man.
I know it is a franchise, but in case of Richard, I can whole heartedly recommend him to anyone in the herts area, mind you he's based in Essex so probably covers a pretty wide region.
Neighbour is also very happy with the work done there, in fact I learned neighbour has used him before.
