So my from-new '15 plate Megane Sport Tourer has, unfortunately, developed the following things:
A small dink in the passenger front wheel arch (its tiny)
A scuff, more than paint deep, on the driver rear wheel arch.
Frustrating as hell that people don't take more care. Either way I'd like them fixed, cheaply, but professionally.
The Renault-approved bodyshop quoted me ~£400 for the lot - which is extortionate (its mostly labour costs, why, I don't know - do they sit and watch the paint dry? Does that count?! /sarcasm).
The local ChipsAway (rated the best franchisee in 2014) quoted £230 for the scuff, but won't touch the dink. They recommended another firm to do that, at £80.
Obviously, the car is still under warranty (and bodywork warranty). Does anyone have any experience in ChipsAway, or warranties on this stuff and alike?
