Scirocco Central

Hi,
I am planning on purchasing a VW Scirocco however there is a very deep scratch which I can feel with my fingernail (Owner said the car was keyed) . I've talked to Chipsaway (located in london) they've given me a quote approximately £280 inc VAT, does this seem reasonable? Can anybody recommend any other good repair specialists in the London area.

If you are anywhere near dartford drop me a PM - got my side keyed and resprayed for good price.

Where is it located on the car mate? £280 sounds a lot!

Its on the panel above the rear wheel

Even for a full arch spray that's mega expensive IMO

How close is it to the front door?

Chipsaway are a 'smart repair' franchise company and will most likely try to repair that outside. Personally I'd be going to a proper body shop, £280 should see a whole panel painted and to a much higher standard than the average 'smart repair'.
