Default Can anyone recommend a Chips Away type company?

Hi guys,

Picked up a nasty stone thrown from the back of some 18 wheeler. Sods law its hit the bonnet but somehow managed to bounce a couple of times to leave three small marks. The first ones slightly dented where the initial impact has taken place although its not too bad and the mrs says its just me being really picky.

Would ideally like to get it sorted now that I have a few free weekends available after all the OT at work and can actually get to drive the thing but hear so many horror stories about poor workmanship. Dont want a respray just yet so I was looking to try the chips away company. Just wondered if anyone could recommend someone in the Bradford/ Keighley area or a body shop that could take on such a small task.

Thanks in advance.

Rob

There's no denying Mick your car certainly looks stunning and I assume its better in the flesh. Would they do just a chip without having to respray the bonnet?

Apple, if you have the number would be great. Can always give them a ring and let them have a look.

True mate - Mick's car does look stunning, but I've a sneaky suspicion they only have yellow paint in stock....

I am pretty certain they would just do what needed to be done,

If it is just a little chip maybe would be better with a home call chips away company.

I have pm.d you the company telephone number if you just wanted to give them a ring
they are really good but maybe a little over kill for your needs, name drop me by all means if you ring them. I know the owner very well

thanks for the coments on my car
