Chipsaway Louis Wan - Call us on 07855 946133

    

Chipsaway Louis Wan has thousands of delighted customers, here are just a few of   them who have voiced their appreciation:

  • Subject: Good work - Thank you. (Letter sent to ChipsAway International Head office)
    Sir or Madam,

May I bring to your attention the excellent work carried out by your representative from Guildford, Louis Wan. I asked you for the local franchisee's details about two weeks ago and I was given his contact details. Throughout my dealings with Louis he came across as highly professional and extremely well organised. His customer focus is of the highest standard and today, as arranged he arrived at my home, early I may add which is so unusual in this day and age, and commenced working on the quite severe damage to my wife's vehicle.

He worked continuously from start to finish and the end result was a superb piece of workmanship with which I am extremely happy.

He was friendly, polite and totally committed to his work and to achieving the best possible result. He managed to do so and I would certainly recommend him and, due to his demeanour, your company to anyone who needs repairs to their vehicle paintwork or trim.

I cannot praise Louis enough and would ask that you pass my thanks on to him.

Yours sincerely,

C. Cooke (Surrey Police)

  • Louis, Thank you again for your fabulous workmanship.  We really wouldn't know anything had ever happened!  A big THANK YOU - again!

                  David and Susan (Guildford)

 

  • Louis, Many thanks for the job today, car looks really good and the recommendations were spot on.

                 Ben (Guildford)

  • I contacted Louis after being given an extortionate quote to cover up the key scratch on my mx-5. From the word go Louis was professional, honest and clearly dedicated. Louis was very flexible fitting my car into his diary, and the work itself, I couldn't have asked for more! Amazing cover up, can barely see the scratch. Very happy with the service all in all. Would definitely recommend him. Many Thanks Louis

                D. Roberts (Guildford)

  • I can thoroughly recommend my local franchisee Louis Wan who responded to my call promptly, gave me a quote that was approximately half the amount of one I had already obtained but not followed up as I felt it was excessive for the damage sustained. Mr Wan spent about six hours working on my car and the end result was really excellent - the damage was totally undetectable. My car is a ten year old Mercedes SLK.

  • I would like to say Chipsaway Louis Wan repaired a scuff on my rear bumper to my Porsche 911 and the results were amazing and way beyond my expectations.  I have always been wary of using mobile repairers but Louis came to me on recommendation and certainly lived up to his well earned reputation.  Colour match and finish is spot on.  I would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending others do the same.

             Subject : Recommended Repair facilities

I have used Louis Wan (the owner operator) of Chips Away Guildford to repair two cars now. My beloved Chrysler 300c and a Dodge Caliber. The 300c was keyed, front to back and Louis erased any evidence of it. It was gone, even on close inspection I had a hard time seeing any evidence.
I took delivery of the Caliber two weeks ago from a garage who promised the car was dent/scratch/repair free. It wasn't, the bumper had had a previous "SMART" repair and the roof was badly scratched in two location. Louis came, evaluated, spoke to the garage on my behalf then went to work. He was here for 5 hours and totally erased the problems. The bumper looks better than new, again even at very close quarters any evidence has gone. The roof has a tiny amount of paint depth fluctuation but is improved by 90%. Louis stopped as he felt that too much over polishing might compromise the lacquer coat thickness and he didn't want to respray the roof!
All in all I'd say that Louis exercises great skill and commitment and I would have no hesitation in using him again as he gives honest advice and never raises your expectations of what is possible.
I would say go see him and improve the looks of your car if it's been in a minor altercation!

P.S. Chips Away operators are franchisees. If you've heard that they are bad then it may just be the one operator,all I can say is that  Louis is amazing and I am one fussy customer when it comes to cars/paint/repairs. Give him a go, tell him Stuart sent you

  • Chipsaway (Guildford) repainted the rear rubbing strip between the door and rear wheel arch today - perfect job - possibly a better paint finish than the rest of the car!! 120 inc vat. Took him about 4 hours, so a pretty fair rate. (excerpt from tyresmoke forum) http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/vw-golf-gti-forum/71939-successful-paintless-dent-removal.html
  • Very efficient, courteous and professional.  Chipsaway Louis Wan's skill, dedication and integrity is a benchmark for all smart repairers to aspire to. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

  • The best thing since sliced bread!  After a thoughtless person scuffed my bumper on my pride and joy Evo IX, I though I was in for a costly and lengthy bodyshop repair.  A friend recommended I give a Louis from ChipsAway in Guildford a call and  was very pleasantly surprised.  He came on time, gave me a very reasonable quote which I agreed to straight away.  He then explained what he was going to do and set to work.  Three hours later and  the finish on the repair surpasses the bodyshop one I had on the front bumper 2 years ago.  Louis' honesty and dedication to his craft is a credit to his  profession.  Truly a master craftsmen.

  • Louis Wan operates a very professional service. He repaired some scuffs on the front bumper of my BMW 330, returning it to a pristine condition. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. Many thanks, Louis!

  • Can't recommend Chips away highly enough. My local one gave me a no obligation estimate and then did a superb ( and reasonable ) job fixing a few odd sratches and scrapes on my GT.

    I suppose the only problem might be is that they are a franchise operation so there might be some variation in quality between different franchisees. But to be fair, I can't recall ever hearing any criticism of them on any forum etc.

  • Once again, I too can recommend Chipsaway, they did an excellent job of sorting a few scratches on my GT.

  • We've used the services of 'ChipsAway' to do this sort of repair.
    It is a franchise, so it will always depend on the skill of whoever has set up local to you.

    Just Google for the company and call their national number, which gets you the franchise operator in your area.

    The franchise setup means they use a standard approach, which avoids full respray of panels, but really good colour matching
    . The one based in Guildford (Louis Wan) is really good and I highly recommend him for local work. Price has also been very reasonable, along with excellent quality work.

  • (part of longer thread).....................Sorry Kandyman but I'm afraid I've failed on the before and after photos but in the passenger door there turned out to be more than the 3 dents I had spotted and more than the single crease. The after shot is easy - imagine a perfectly dent and crease free door.

    A really excellent job for £100 + VAT. Louis seemed to care as much for the car as I did, even going back over to his garage to put it safely under cover for me overnight.

    So if you're in the Guildford area or surrounding district and want a really professional job, I would recommend this guy 100% - 07855946133 or Google Chips Away Guildford and you can read his testimonials.

  • Chips Away I've used my local Chips Away (gulidford) a few times and have always been happy with the results. Admitedly the damage was smaller than this.
    As with many of these services, its all down to the skill and experience of the individual so dont rule them out.

    My advice is however to get some references first.

  • I've had a good experience with the Guildford Chipsaway guy in the past. However it turned out that I just needed a dent removed and a really good polish to remove the scratches. I don't know now good the results are with a partial respray.

  • Re: Chipsaway, are they any good???

    Agree with r-jay, their level of skill is what counts. Unsure where you are based but I had two very badly scratched alloys on my 182 and the guy I got in touch with in Guildford did a cracking job, particularly as they are the anthracite wheels. Was a little bit pricey (£140), but you wouldn't know.
  • Just dug out the guy's card and his name was Louis Wan. Top bloke, cracking job. Really into his cars as well and was contemplating a 182!

    Part of a long thread on Piston Heads Forum

  • I think this thread can be summed up thus:

    I think "smart repairs" have their place. Some smart repairers are great at their job (Louis Wan, Chips Away Surrey as an example), in the same way that some bodyshops are great, and others ste.

  • GIVEN that any paint man worth his spray gun charges £300 just to open the tin these days, I was hugely taken with the services of a company called ChipsAway. They come to your house and will repair anything from the tiniest chip to dents, bumper scuffs, kerbed alloy wheels and even holes in your upholstery.
