How long does a repair take?

People oftern want to know how long a repair will take. Sometimes it is because they have waved a spray can over a repair in the past and think it takes minutes, some think Peter has a magic wand so here are a few examples of work Peter has carried out over the last few months:

Porsche Boxster rear bumper – standard repair that requires extra work to blend the edges of the repair as there are no ‘natural’ edges – about 3 – 4 hours

Vauxhall Corsa rear wheel arch – no issues here, though sometimes their Starsilver can be a pain – about 2 – 3 hours

Honda CRV front bumper – this sort of repair can take a long time as you ease the bumper back into shape – about 5 – 7 hours

Ford Ka rear quarter panel – repair depends very much on the amount of damage – this one took about 4 hours

Toyota MR2 front bumper – due to the age of the car there was a lot of crazing to paint – about 3 – 4 hours

VW Passat door handle – about 2 hours

Mercedes SLK rear bumper – straight forward repair – about 2 – 3 hours

Toyota Avensis rear bumper – well controlled area and a ‘good’ colour – about 2 – 3 hours

Crumpled wing on Audi A3 repaired by ChipsAway in Leicester. When a regular business Customer contacted Peter about a damaged wing it was not clear what he would find. The damage was quite extensive and required quite a lot of work before it could be painted. The end result was above the Customers expectations, which is always nice.

If this sort of damage has happened to your car then perhaps Peter can help you. Call Peter on 07830 36 46 86 or email from the link on this page.

Little Red Citroen in Leicester fixed by ChipsAway (PDS) in Leicester. Being fixed on the drive in half a day was more important that the cost, but couple the convenience with the cost saving and that adds up to another very happy Customer.

No automatic accreditation at ChipsAway. When Peter went to HQ  just before Christmas he was not asked to repair a low down panel on a solid red car, but the “C” post on a silver Audi. As you can see, all went well and there were no big sighs as each operator went forward, so you know standards are high and plans are to keep it that way. If Peter can help you why not call him on 07830 36 46 86 for a chat.

ChipsAway (PDS) Ltd receives accreditation. Just before the Christmas break Peter went to ChipsAway International’s HQ to carry out a repair on a silver Audi to make sure that his work still met the exacting standards of the group and was delighted to be presented with a certificate of accreditation by the directors.

Even after more than 5 years with ChipsAway Peter was still able to learn from the exercise with subtle changes that allow even better repairs. Always proud of the brand Peter is pleased that they continue to maintain the highest of standards and offer further training to anyone who’s standards may have dropped.

Do you go to work in an Armani suit? If so, is a Maserati the motoring equivalent?

On your way to an important meeting and a button comes off or you find a nasty stain on your silk tie. What do you do? Stitch on a spare button and change your tie. As soon as possible I would say. Well it is the same with your business car.

You get pushed towards the kerb by the driver comming the other way and you have a damaged wheel, or you catch the front spoiler in a multi-storey car park.

People notice these things and think “if he doesn’t care about his suit / car, does he care about my order?” Soon you find he has been talking to your competitors.

Peter, at ChipsAway (PDS) Ltd, does not sell silk ties, but he can fix scuffs and scrapes on your car, so see if he can help you. Call Peter on 07830 36 46 86

ChipsAway Vs Main Dealer.

When you buy a new car, part of the joy is knowing you have the support of a main dealer behind you. So the first stop for Mr H. when two large chips appeared on the front of his Alfa Mito, the result of a thoughtless neighbour, was to call on the supplying dealer. Their solution was to drop a couple of blobs of a silver paint onto the damage and say “job done.”

As this was all they were prepared to do before re-spraying the whole front bumper, at an eye watering cost, Mr H. called Peter who was able to carry out a ChipsAway SMART repair.

The pictures above show the dealer repair, the original damage after Peter removed their repair and a couple of shots of Peter’s finished repair.

“For £120 + vat this represents excellent value compared to a full bumper re-spray” said the Customer.

Perhaps Peter has a solution for your vehicle paintwork damage, call him on 07830 36 46 86 to discuss your needs.

New Corsa typical damage? This is what Peter found when he was asked to look at a new Vauxhall Corsa. The rear bumper had been damaged while parked and needed repair. Peter was able to carry out the repair with minimum disruption at the Customers place of work in only a few hours.

As a result they were able to come to work in the usual way and the repair was completed in plenty of time to allow the return journey to be made as normal. On top of that the price was lower than a local bodyshop had quoted.

If this has happened to you, why not call Peter on 07830 36 46 86, or drop him an email to peter@morethanjustchips.com and see how Peter can help you.
