The MGF Register Forums

It is often asked about where to go for scratch and dent repairs, I'm sure many of you have your favourites. Just recently getting the car back up to what it should look like I have come across a few that were average but also a few who were outstanding and deserve the custom.

May I add this :

You all know about John the Polisher, the wheel man on Canvey 01268 680245.
I can recommend Steve Chapman, Auto trim n chips 01268 795048 / 07950 579424.
He in turn recommends Geoff Sarll of Invisident for paintless dent removals 01245 421861 / 07899 917767.

If you have any recommendations (other than Steve Tyler) put them here for others to choose should they need such a service.

DentsDirect - a dent technician called Peter Gibson - top class work. He removed three dents in 15 minutes and only charged me £45 a panel because I belonged to the Essex Roadsters. The work he did was quality - Only down side is he loves talking about his VW golf and its padel control gear stick on the steering wheel.

He is from Colchester but is down this way twice a week as he is so popular around the Southend area. He also has 11 years of removing dents.

Think he has worked on Mark and Mikes cars

Number :- 07967192005

Steve Chapman has just done my dads F,he has done a great job

Safety Warning

We have recently had work done by Auto trim n chips although the actual work on our curbed alloys was very well done, Auto trim n chip did not do a great job in putting the wheels back on the car correctly. All the wheel nuts on the front were not done up (could turn them with my fingers) nearly resulting in a possible fatal accident!!. By reading other Essex Roadsters experience at Auto trim n chip it shows of a very good feedback but just one mistake like this is enough for me not to us them again or recommend them to anyone else.

Since working at Toomey's in Cherry Orchard Way, very close to British Legends, I have found they use Essex Smart Repairs. I needed a repair very quickly in time for the photo-shoot in December so I spoke to their top man, Jason Singleton who made a great job on the TF. Very efficient and at a good price too.

They will travel to you or work at Cherry Orchard and they have several outlets around the area so they are well worth a call www.essexsmartrepairs.com or 07875 387136 for Jason.

Hi all these posts seam quite old has anyone used any of these or anyone else recently in the Southend area please

Thanks Gary
