I had a couple of door dings repaired whilst the car was at TGM, I don't know if he'll take a car in just to do that though. mine was booked in for a number of jobs to be done and the dings were small items on the list. I don't know if the guy he uses can also do scratches and chips. It's worth giving Tom a call to find out, my dings are all gone.

well it depends on the number of pannels and amount of damage etc. mine were just parking dinks in the passenger door so no paint was involved. I think it was about £80 give or take.

Hey everyone. Just wondering again if anyone knows anyone around the Surrey area that can do scratch repairs?

I have a little scratch on my rear bumper and a little scratch on my front lower lip.

How deep is the scratch? Maybe look into wet sanding/rotary use, you can save yourself a lot of money!!

The scratches are straight through the paint to the platic. I will ring chips away if no one can be reccomended.

Surely someone has used somebody for scratch repairs that done a good job that they could reccomend.

Canada Coachworks in Byfleet did an excellent job of chopping out the arch rot on mine, grafting in new metal and painting.
