Car Dented & Scratched - Any ideas on cost to fix?

[pow216]

I was mowing the lawn today and a twig got caught and thrown against the car

Does anyone know how much this will cost to fix?

Any recommendations in the Stoke on Trent area?

Thank you.

That's some real bad luck there

Had some cnut key my car and took it to Chipsaway
Top notch job, they had it for a day and cost under £200. Completely gone.
Give them a bell and see if they can fix it

PS: Jesus, what mower have you got to throw a twig with that much energy? Turbo powered V8?

My wife put a stone through (didn't actually make it to the other side) our bedroom window from lawnmowing - not quite superhuman as its a bungalow. A costly fix as one thing led to another as we got the other pane changed to match, then the other panes in the room, then the panes in the kitchen and sons room windows as it was better insulated glass, and, whilst they were at it, the panes in the utility room as one had a cat flap in it and being obscured glass, we changed all to match. All because of one stone. I showed her these photos as an example as to why I tell her to move the car before mowing the front lawn.

Chipsaway seem to do a good job for a reasonable price.

I find parking an ICE car between the lawn and the Tesla a good way to protect it. They have to be good for something right?

Ha! it’s a Dewalt dual battery mower, I call it the Tesla of mowers!

Chips away have quoted me £360, it’s booked in. I’m a little nervous to let my baby go under the knife though!

Glad you’re getting it sorted. Please let us see an “after” picture!

Be very careful of chips away, I had to have a rear bumper re-sprayed by a body shop last time I used them. (There work was a completely different shade of colour) The chap doing the job was foul mouthed and refused to return.

For the price you are paying, I’d expect a decent body shop not to be much more to re-spray the whole door panel.

I have a 2 inch scar on my leg where, many years ago, a rear-mulch mower spat out a large stone which fractured my shin. They didn't have ChipsAway then so I went to the local hospital. Fixed my leg but the 'paintwork' is rubbish.
