Anyone used Chipsaway for repair of small scratches/dents? The wife went shopping and returned with a tiny dent and scratch (and I mean tiny) in the middle of the back door on the drivers side. I am going to take it to a body shop that I know is good and that I have used before when the bairn's bike fell off the wall in the garage and dented/scratched my Golf. However for the ease and convenience of getting the job done on my driveway, I thought I would see what these guys have to say.
Any info. on cost, repair quality/longevity etc. would be appreciated. I've read the PH reviews briefly and it's a bit of a mixed bag so would be interested to see what experiences peeps on here have.
Many thanks

Re: Chipsaway?
If you get the dent removed, would you still see the damage if the paint damage is tiny?
I have seen some very good results from those dent removal people.

Re: Chipsaway?

Try KB Dents from Stirling 07789226321. Keith fixes dents and paint for Menzies BMW and Arnold Clark Mercedes.
A bull (long story) nudged the top of my front wing on a 5 series and caused a dent right on the angle from the bonnet to the wing. Menzies £1800, back street Bob £500, Keith £80 and he fixed a car park door dink similar to the one you describe on the 5 and similar one on a mini we had at the time (all for the £80). You could not see any of the damage under any light.
He is a panel beater to trade and I got his name from someone in Menzies.

However, his prices seem to rise very quickly, albeit from a low base....
