Most of the repairs Peter is asked to carry out are on cars, but this repair was to the rear door of a Vauxhall AstraVan. The door had suffered a stone chip early in it’s life and some time later a small ‘blob’ of touch up paint had been added. This is usually a good thing,but it needs to be done early or, as in this case, rust will set in and continue under the paint.

In this case the rust covered an area about the size of a 2p piece. After cleaning the panel and removing  part of a web address the rust was removed mechanically with a small grinder. A ‘rust eater’ was then applied to help prevent the return of the rust followed by a primer. A filler was used to bring the levels back up and the wider area primed again prior to painting followed by the clear lacquer.

A good polish later and the panel looked as good as new. On the way out the MD checked out the repair and as a result Peter is carrying out a repair on his Jaguar XK-R.

Alloy Wheel repair in Market Harborough:

Many people say they will visit the More Than Just Chips web site and say thank you, but in these busy days it does not always happen. Well yesterday I repaired an alloy wheel and a couple of bits of paintwork for the friend of an old Customer and Alan was as good as his word with an email later in the day:

 Peter,
Please use this as a recommendation. Your work to repair my alloy and scratch caused by idiot traffic wardens or those not brave enough to apologise have been superbly fixed ,and at such a brilliant price. By helping out with my step daughters scratch as “part of the service” has been really appreciated.
I hope we don’t have to, but we will use you again if we needed to.
FANTASTIC

Thanks to Alan and all those Customers who never had the time but passed on my name anyway.
