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 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 an established name in mobile automotive cosmetic repair on the UK market.

As a franchisee you get an established brand and a proven system, your own defined sales-and-marketing territory and intensive hands-on technical training (no prior bodywork experience required) at a 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 nationwide online and TV advertising and a central enquiry engine that funnels repair leads to franchisees; 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 leads from head office, and handling quotes and quality. The brand operates on the UK market and in several other countries, but it has no representation in Czechia or Slovakia and does not offer licences there.
