Chipsaway?

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
Scott

Cheers.
Spoke to them, they won't touch it as its right in the middle of a door.

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.

You'd have thought so but they won't touch it!

I used them on the wife's s type a scrape on a rear wing a few years ago and they were excellent im sure it came with a lifetime guarantee as long as you owned the car.

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....
