Mindless Moron

JBPRX400h · September 28, 2010

Popped into local supermarket late on Sunday afternoon to pick up a bit of shopping. Was only in the shop for about 45 minutes. When I came out I discovered that some mindless moron had inscribed a nice long scratch with a key or something across the rear offside passenger door, the driver's door and across the front offside wing. B@s@@@d!!!

Can anyone suggest a good, reliable, not too expensive way I can get the damage repaired in the Milton Keynes area as I don't think with the excess and loss of no claims it would be worth doing it under my insurance?

Has anyone had any experience with Chips Away for instance?

Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear this - there are some serious idiots out there

Chips away have a good reputation and I'm guessing they would give you a quote so you can weigh up the pro's/cons plus they are based countrywide :)

Chipsaway are very good, worth giving them a call to see if they can sort it.

Have you had a word with the supermarket to see if they have CCTV?

It may be worth reporting it to the police.

Bad luck.

I had Chipsaway round a year or so back, mainly to fix a bumper scrape but with a 'while you're here' task to fix a long scratch along the back door and back wing - not a deep scratch but still a rub-down/respray. Also had them do the wife's RAV-4 with some similar scratches. All in all it was about £250, probably £150 on the Lexus and £100 for the Toyota, and the guy was on site for a whole day, excellent job, couldn't tell the respray from the original. I got the impression at the survey that they price according to the size of the largest job/area, and can do other touching-up (stone chips etc) while they're at it.

I'd definitely use them again, and I must get round to calling them because a week after fixing the bumper scrape, I scraped exactly the same bit of bumper on exactly the same obstacle...
