8. How much will my repair cost?
It is impossible for us to price a repair precisely without seeing the damage, as the work and materials involved in a repair can vary greatly from one piece of damage to the next. If you wish to send us digital photos of your damage via email, try to include one that shows the damage as close-up (while still in focus) as possible, and another that is zoomed far enough out to give us an idea of the scale of the repair. We will be able to provide ballpark figures in these circumstances. We are pleased to offer free, we-come-to-you estimates where we give firm price quotes.

9. Do you do insurance work?
Yes. We will need a faxed works authorisation from your insurer to proceed with the work. If you have been asked to collect quotes for repair work by your insurer, we will be pleased to assist.

10. Are there any repairs you do not do?
The ChipsAway paint system is not designed for full paintwork repairs to bonnets or roofs. We can conduct touch-in repairs and machine compounding repairs to these areas, which can provide a cost effective repair to certain types of damage. Please contact us for a free assessment of suitability. In addition, we do not undertake panel replacements or welding repairs, but can advise you free of charge on whether or not your damage requires such work.

11. When is the car ready to drive?
The car is ready for ordinary road use and weather exposure immediately after we have completed the repair.

12. How should I look after my repair?
Advice is given following completion of the repair. Advice is always available by phone.

13. Do you repair dents? How about Paintless Dent Removal?
Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a separate skill which is applicable if the paint is not damaged and the area is suitable for access for PDR. In case the paint is damaged or the area is not suitable for PDR, ChipsAway can usually repair the area by applying filler to level out the dent, followed by spray painting and lacquering of the applicable area.
