• One of the most helpful and patient businesses I have ever dealt with.

When I arrived to collect my car I could not have been happier with the quality of work. The best way...

Their prices are also very reasonable

• Dear Brian and Amanda I am delighted with the repairs to my car. Looking at it, I would not know there had ever been any damage. Even on what is quite an old car now, the paint match is perfect.

On the agreed day, you collected and delivered the car back at exactly the times you said. I have no hesitation at all in highly recommending you.

• Dear Brian and Amanda, I don't really do social media myself, but you're very welcome to add my comments where you wish. Anthony turned up promptly and did a great job on my car.

Brian called round to my house to view a large dent and scratches to to the bumper and rear wing of my car and he gave me a detailed quote within 24 hours.

  Holly

• Just had scratches removed from my Ford Focus at St Albans by Brian Palmer and his team. Great job, I would definitely recommend. Brian was very polite and helpful. Thanks, Ray, Hemel Hempstead

  Ray

• Dear Brian and Amanda Palmer, Just to say thanks to you all for the splendid job you did on the BMW! I expected good things but not as as good as I got! Excellent. I was asked yesterday ”When did you get your new car?”. The unfortunate young woman was surprised to be embraced so early in the day. I must say it’s good to... Read more meet a bunch of professionals who take their work so seriously. The way you run your business - from start to finish - put you firmly in the A plus professional class. Brilliant - and many thanks to anyone who had a hand or a paintbrush in it. I found you by reputation. Hang on to it! I have made my New Year resolution not to mess up your handiwork and I really will do my best. However,I have to admit that my track record is less than exemplary (as you know) - though two of the worse indentations on the vehicle were done by others. I expect you will see me again, though I shall probably send my agent to avoid the shame! Thanks also for reminding me of my oldest school friend - by having the same name. That Brian Palmer is now a retired Police Inspector in Australia. We were school mates from 1943 to 1956 (before your time!) He went off to Oz; I went off to Catterick Camp for National Service. Those were the days!! Thanks again and all the very best of wishes for your future endeavours. Chips Away Brian

• I wanted a dink/scratch repaired – thank you to a fellow customer at the supermarket! ChipsAway was recommended by a friend so I contacted them. Their communication was excellent – prompt and helpful emails and telephone conversations. The staff that I met, both administrative and technical, were efficient and personable. A...
