ChipsAway

ChipsAway is a specialist in so-called SMART repairs — Small/Medium Area Repair Technology — fixing localised cosmetic car damage such as paint scratches, scuffed bumpers, minor dents, stone chips and kerbed alloy wheels. Instead of leaving the car at a traditional bodyshop for days, the customer gets a same-day spot repair that blends seamlessly into the original paint. The work is done either at the customer's home or workplace from a mobile workshop in the van, or at a fixed-base Car Care Centre. The brand is one of the most recognised names in mobile automotive cosmetic repair.

As a franchisee you get an established brand and a proven system, your own exclusive sales-and-marketing territory and intensive hands-on technical training (no prior bodywork experience required) at a dedicated training facility with industry accreditation — covering paint matching, dent techniques and alloy repair, plus business, sales and marketing training and a booking and CRM system. Crucially, head office runs national online and TV advertising and a central enquiry engine that funnels a steady stream of repair leads to each franchisee; you then run the unit day to day — carrying out repairs to a high standard, managing bookings and customers, doing local marketing on top of the national leads, and handling quotes and quality.
