Automotive Restoration.

ChipsAway has grown over the years to become the premier world authority in automotive restoration.

Daniel A. Pikur and his associates started the company in 1988 after recognising a tremendous need in the industry for quick, professional repairing of minor interior and exterior automotive defects at an affordable price.

Applying more than 65 years of combined experience in the field, they have expanded ChipsAway into an internationally respected company now operating in over 20 countries worldwide

Although ChipsAway started trading in the UK in 1994, it is true to say that the business has only just "scratched the surface".

Responsible for introducing the concept of cosmetic SMART repair to the UK, ChipsAway is by far the market leader in this sector, carrying out an estimated 300,000-350,000 repairs per year.

Recent market research has shown that more than 50% of the UK's 30 million cars are in need of a cosmetic SMART repair at any one time - and what's more - most owners are unaware of the SMART option.

Two-thirds of owners of vehicles requiring repair said that they would willingly utilise a convenient cost-effective and speedy repair service, particularly if it could be provided at their home or work environment. At the time of the survey, only a small number were aware of the ChipsAway option.

Add to this, the growing awareness of insurance companies, company fleet owners and "the motor trade" in general, and you will see a huge market for the unique ChipsAway paint, dent and trim repair systems.

With the average bodyshop repair costing £200/£250 and requiring the vehicle for up to 4 to 5 days, the comparison of the ChipsAway repair averaging £100 and being carried out in a few hours makes the point far better than any words.
