Really Sorry to hear that chazzer It must be SO frustrating.. As previously mentioned, now is the time to chase up Chipsaway Central Office to complain about it..If they are not willing to do anything about it, then onto Trading Standards. Oh, make sure you mention Trading Standards when complaining to Chipsaway..Then you may be treated in a more respectable manner and not just fobbed off. The company will be insured to the hilt, all sorts of liability etc..time for a pay out me thinks. This could happen to anyone else, nows the time to prevent it! |

Chips away central office make sure all the franchises have liability insurance to cover damages that they cause to the car. So id be very vocal with them about it The glasgow branch is none the better. |

I looked at taking on a Chips Away franchise (£22k+) but scrapped the idea when I found that dealers won't use them & my area is saturated with similar rivals. I was told (by a dealer) that the finish isn't always that good & by the time they've set everything up the car could have gone to a bodyshop.
Expectations too high? Chips Away blow their own trumpet very loudly as far as quality of finish is concerned. Chips Away is in fact quite pricey compared to a conventional bodyshop. The usp of CA is the convenience factor compared to a conventional bodyshop. Personally I wouldn't use them. Good luck with your claim against them. You could alway park up next to them when they set up shop on retail parks etc. & loudly proclaim your dissatisfaction with them. That'll get results! |

Well i have spoke to head office, the chap that fu*ked it up has given me a refund but has left me with an £650.00 bill that chipsaway wont pay for because and their exact words were "we wont pay for a bodyshop repair because we dont paint whole panels" i told them they shouldnt have wrecked the whole panels and the only way to get compensation would be through the small cllaims court with no garantee so there you go, my pride and joy covered in overspray with mis-matching patchey paint and chipsaway do it for free....and now couldnt give a sh*t would have been better in someone had vandalised it .... regards chaz

Like I said, haunt the guy when he sets up shop at the weekends.
He'll soon think twice when his income starts to drop. |
