Put my car in the garage this evening. The ladder I had hanging up for the past 4 years decides to throw itself off the hook on to the car.

Nice deep scratches on the rear quarter now. Not pleased.

I want to get it fixed up without it looking like a patchwork quilt.

Any tips how I can fix it !

I have a couple of other scratches around the car which seem to appear from nowhere. The way Subaru paint cars is not paticularly fantastic.

I'll take it into the Subaru bodyshop.

I'm not happy

Some jealous sod scratched my sport the other month(probably a Turbo owner methinks!). Best to leave it to the pros. I took it down to my mate Bob who does bodyworks. Charged me 450 quid to get rid of scratch. He did a fine job and very reasonable.

Chips Away.

I put a 12 inch gouge in my front spoiler. They fixed it and when I px'd it the garage didn't even spot it.

Popeye if I could have that number for your mate (please email me) The pleasures of London mean that my bumpers need to be re-done.

I know a lot of people have downers on chips away but I have had 4 repairs now (careless I know) and all have been very good.

when you get the guy round to do an estimate have a chat find out how long they have been doing it etc there are some new boys and some that have been doing it for years.
