Testimonials

• A cool masterclass in chipology! Tom Cole beautifully restored an extensive bumper scruff and my injured pride into the bargain! I was astonished how such a nasty prang can be made in just a single day on my own premises. Nothing is too much trouble for Tom, and his top professionalism and attention to detail ensures a perfect job. Don't go anywhere else - Tom's the man!

• Tom Cole from Bournemouth was very helpful, he explained what needed to be done clearly and came out to asses the damage with no charge for me to approve the quote. All in very good time. Great service, very helpful and very polite. Very highly recommended.

  Sharon

• Tom Cole was thoroughly professional from original estimate to completion of the paint repair job to my Qashqai. He arrived promptly on the agreed date and time, and finished just within the 5 hours quoted. I am very pleased with the finish, and would certainly use him again, though hope I won't need to!!

• Just like new again! Chips Away are probably the oldest name in mobile auto paint repairs and will probably be around for as long as a service like this exists. That's for a good reason, they trust their name to professionals like Tom Cole. My Mercedes was scraped in a car park and as it's my pride and joy, must be repaired... Read more immediately. Tom was prompt, courteous and carried out an amazing job. It's just like it had never happened even though I saw some of the various stages of repair take place in my own driveway. There probably are cheaper alternatives to Chips Away, but I won't be seeking them out if I need a fix again. There's a lifetime guarantee too, probably worth something in this case which adds reassurance to the whole process. Good job Tom!

• I would like to write a thank you for the work that was done by Tom Cole. Tom repaired scratches on my 1 year old brand new Clio. He was polite and courteous from the first meeting and maintained clear contact about arrival dates and times. He did the work on a Saturday to suit my schedule and was prompt on the day.

• Chips Away Tom Cole (technician) carried out a repair to the car door after it was damaged in a car park by an unknown vehicle. The repair was of the highest quality and the paint match flawless an excellent mobile service well done Chips Away. Carey

• I am just contacting you to let you know how pleased I am with the repair you carried out to the front of my Volvo earlier this week. Several people who had seen the damage before and the repaired area since are very impressed with the way this has been done, especially the superb colour match to the existing. This certainly seems... Read more the ways to go as far as the smaller dings are concerned which, if you went to a main dealer or body shop, would doubtless land up with new and unnecessary panels being fitted. ChipsAway seem to have gone back in time to what used to be done in body shops many years ago, where it was not just a question of fitting a new panel and spraying it, but actually to repair the damaged area. Should the need arise again; I will certainly be in touch with you. Incidentally, I would be interested to hear if and when you get involved in similar minor problems with caravans!

  Martin

• Brilliant job well done. I am very pleased with the attention both I and my car received from David and Tom. It was a pleasure to see how they applied themselves to the job, methodical and thorough.

  Owen

• Tom did a brilliant job on the paint work. Would recommend him to anyone who has got a paint problem with their vehicles.

  Gerry

• Great Efficient service - we have used Tom & Dave at Poole/Bournemouth twice now - very professional

  Mike

• Excellent job for a reasonable price. Tom arrived on time and did an excellent job of removing the scratches on my rear bumper. Looks as good as new. It was all very convenient as he did the repair at my home. His was also the best quote I had for the job.

  Mrs Woodward

• Chips Away team Tom & David ( Bournemouth & Poole area ) arrived on time. Performed a first class job on some scratches on rear door panel. Final paint match was perfect. Now back in showroom condition again. I would thoroughly recommend Tom & David Cole. Very skilled and conscientious workers.

  Brian

• These guys are fantastic. The quality of the workmanship on my wife's two year old Range Rover was top notch there is no trace of the previous damage. The colour match and finish can only be described as factory finish. Tom arrived at the house bang on time (I am a bit OCD about this kind of thing) and then talked me through what he... Read more was about to do. He then set to work and, once finished, took me through a few care tips for the first couple of days after the repair. He even took the time to give some advice about DIY stone chip repair to my motorbike and Aston Martin. I would trust these guys with any car, however exotic, and they all be my only choice for this sort of work.

  Frank

• Used ChipsAway Poole (Tom) to deal with rear bumper scuff. His painstaking attention to detail was amazing and the result is the bumper looks as good as new. Thoroughly recommend

  Ken

• Excellent service start to finish. I sent a photo of the damage to the rear nearside arch via WhatsApp. I had a swift response, with a quote for the work. We settled on a day-I gave two dates when I knew I would be around morning or afternoon. Told around 8, but arrived 8.20. Started quite soon after. Lovely job! And I'm sure cheaper than a garage repair.

  Colette

• Tom Cole has just finished my car - to perfection - he was only satisfied in doing a first class job. The first scrape on my treasured BMW and you are concerned about the result of someone mending it (for the same price on my previous car a local repair shop did a rough job and you could see it). Worry not I am very pleased with... Read more being able to talk to the man doing the job as against worrying about what some unknown person is going to produce. Cannot recommend Tom too much for his polite and efficient service.
