Hi folks,

anyone know of someone who does (or does themself) SMART repairs?

Some w@nker appears to have used the back of my C70 has a leaning post and the result is a couple of 10p size dents (no paint cracking etc) on top of the rear wing.

If the same person happens to be able to repair scratches as well that would be a bonus as I've got 2 of those elsewhere which would be nice to finally get rid of after nearly 2 years :D

Cheers all!

Saw a 'Prestige - SMART repairs' van earlier going down the polegate bypass; details below:

Whether they are any good or not, i have no idea.

Good luck :D

If anybody knows of a good one I might be interested too. I've heard these mobile repairs can range from crap to brilliant depending on the training and skills of the guy doing it.

One of my partenrs in crime at work recommended the local blokey from Chips Away. He came round and seemed to know what he was about etc. Car is being sorted on the 3rd June.

To repair the two dents on the rear wing (they can't be pulled or pushed due to location and structure of the panel means access is impossible) needs sanding, filling, priming, painting etc etc. Cost for that is £150 + VAT. However, I have struck a bit of a deal. I have 2 other scratches (deep, nasty ones) that have been on the car since before I bought it. For an extra £40 + VAT he's going to sort them at the same time. Total bill of £218.50 which sounds pretty good to me for 3 repairs to 3 different panels.

Doesn't sound too bad at all. Fingers crossed he'll be as good as his patter.

Keep us up to date as to how good he is as there's quite a few people in this area that would want stuff like that.

Ooops, forgot about this. Not being done until 24th July now, too much work (for me) in the way at the moment!
