It’s a very small world. When Peter went to see Tom to quote on some damage to his 08 plate Honda Civic it was clear Tom was not a local. Though there may be 20 years between them, at one time they lived within 4 or 5 miles of each other in Newcastle and went to the same Heaton Grammar School ( http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hgshhs/hgs/  for information).

The repair went well, but the best part was chatting about some of the changes, old and new that have taken place over the years.

Alloy Wheel repairs by ChipsAway in Leicester. Back in June this year Peter was called in to repair an alloy wheel on a Customers Maserati, all went well and the Customer was delighted. So much so, that when the car was forced onto a kerb by a passing motorist they didn’t hesitate to call Peter back to repair the 2 nearside alloys.

SoPeter must be doing something right. Call him if this has happened to you.

My car has been ‘keyed’ – what do I do next? Is it a sign that education is getting better when the the vandals who ‘key’ your car are bright enough to write a 4 letter word on the side of your car.

This was the second such repair Peter was asked to carry out in recent weeks.

After filling the scratch itself Peter applied a coat of ChipsAway primer to ensure the scratches would not show through the finished repair (a fault often seen with ‘lesser’ repairs). Several coats of the correct mix of Radiant Red (there are 4, all easy to tell apart, especially in the middle of a panel) were applied followed by a couple of coats of the Aquaclear lacquer. The panel could then be polished to match the rest of the vehicle.

If this has happened to you, why not give Peter a call on 07830 36 46 86 and have a chat about what can be done or for a free quote.

Does Size Matter? Peter sees cars that have been damaged in most of the Supermarket car parks in and around the City with the one exception, the new John Lewis car park.

Is this because the spaces are getting smaller, cars are getting bigger or drivers take less care?

Does colour matter? Over the last few weeks Peter has repaired more Black cars than ever before.

Most Black cars these days are metallics and pearls. Names like Obsidian and Sapphire are the order of the day, but they are all blacks of one shade or another. Often with 12 or more tints these are complex colours, but ChipsAway Aquaclear system allows Peter to get a perfect match even though most manufacturers have 10 to 20 shades of there own!

So what do you think? Does it matter what colour your car is? Do some colours attract more damage?

Red BMW wheel arch damage – how to fix it. When a client’s car was damaged in their car park a local business called Peter to help out. Peter was able to carry out the repair at the home of the client to minimise disruption. As a result, not only were both parties very happy with the actual repair, but the company have a very impressed client who will remember that they go the extra mile to help.

Bentley paintwork repair in Leicestershire. Last year Peter repaired some damaged paintwork on a Bentley Continental Flying Spur for a Customer. It’s nice to know that in the event that a vehicle is damaged again they will call Peter to come and sort it out. This was the case with the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. With a vehicle like this, that gets used for weddings as well as a daily driver it is very important it always looks the best, so when the radiator surround started to suffer from stone chip damage Peter was called in again to do his stuff.

So if this happens to you, don’t be embarrassed, call Peter on 07830 36 46 86 and he will come and have a look at the damage and provide a free quote and / or advice on the best way to resolve the issue.
