I have spoken to the guy and he appears to know his stuff, I didn't end up using him as I changed the car.
Let me know how you get on

I called the guy from Hillsborough and no longer does this but recomended a person in Mallusk, said his name is in the book and said there was another fella in Saintfield who also did it and was good as well.

Guys

The chap in Mallusk is called Gordon, his number is 07748 988467.

I user them with my last car, got hit on the passenger door by something (Think some dcikhead threw a stone at me on the westlink)

Anyway, I got dents away to remove the dent (Funny enough) and went to Chips Away in Mallusk to have the paint repaired.

They charged me a very small amount to have the paint fixed, gave the dealer the repaired car the following day, and drove off in the STI.

Dealer examined the car and did not find where they had repaired the paint.

Incidently, I've got a few stone chips on the STI at the moment, and may go back to these guys sometime when I get a minute.

I had chips away do a job on my last car. Lets just I had to get him out twice and it still wasnt right. He was fixing a scratch not dents, dont let him near your car with a spray gun. His name wasnt Gordon but they all undergo the same training and work methods.

Having spoken to the chap from Co Down, he admitted that the system they use doesn't suit fixing scratches very well, much better on chips. (same as ketchup)

i got a scuff repaired on the front bumper with gordon off chips away he is a nice guy and not hard to pay but i thought that the paint work that he did was very hazy and noticeable but then some sprayers will tell you silver is harder to blow in,so i went and got an sti6 frount spoiler got it painted as well as the whole front bumper

Well Pete from Saintfield has now let me down twice this week, so I'm going to have a word with the fella in Mallusk and see what happens. The car is also up for the 45K service in April so I'll get that done first I think.
