Any recommendations? (rather than taking my chances with Chipsaway, or someone like http://www.mobilescratchscuff.co.uk/services/ )

Fairly minor, but as caused by someone else I am damn well getting them to pay for it to be sorted, but don't want some heavy-handed bodge job that might make it look worse than when they started! Thanks.

My go to place (and seemingly the standard reccomendation on here) is Manhattan Motors in Earlsdon.

Thanks. Me too, I have also recommended Manhattan, as I've used them a few times. But this time I'm just talking about a very small scrape, a couple of bits to tidy up, which I thought would lend itself more to a smart-type repair, which I assume Manhattan wouldn't do (I could be wrong), and they'd want to paint the whole area.

I've seen some people post really good results on here from smart repairs (albeit none anywhere near me!), and if this was going to be a fraction of the cost of a "proper" bodyshop then I thought I would see if there's anyone local I could use. And potentially more convenient if they are mobile and can come to me, rather than leaving the car with a bodyshop.

But failing that I might just pop in to Manhattan anyway and see what they can do.

I've used them for smaller bits before.
