Depends on what level of work you want done.

I was/am looking into a franchise with them. Went up to an open day where they did a demonstration by one of the franchisees for all to see. Was a silver pissrat (silver being the hardest colour to blend) and it was pretty damn good I must say! Depends what your local guy is like I suppose, but I honestly could not tell where the scratch (they actually just ran a brick up and down until they were through to bare metal) was after.

Some can be really poor quality, better to get it sorted by a bodyshop.

Depends on the bodyshop, the local one I use is loads better than the chipsaway cowboys.

  have seen many repairs done by chipsaway both in and outside of the area I live and all were poor tbh

You cannot match and spray a small area working outside without it standing out like a small thumb.

See this expert repair below, carried out in Bath, they could not have got the match worse if they tried.
