10 YEARS ON!
10 years ago this month I started my ChipsAway franchise!
I started business on my own, just me and my van, 10 years on, I have 3 fantastic employees, a car care centre, a van service and an amazing group of customers (including a few famous ones from TV, movies and music!). I also now do business mentoring for a lot of new starters who join the ChipsAway network and we were lucky enough to be awarded ChipsAway Franchise of the Year in 2016/17.
Thank you to everyone, staff, customers and colleagues for making the business a success. Over 10,000 repair jobs completed, I have spoken to over 20,000 customers (some more than once!) and have literally hundreds of 'Trustpilot 5 star' reviews for the work we have done. Thanks again to my team and everyone for their support.
Onwards and upwards!
Coronavirus Update Tuesday 5th January Lockdown
We will remain open for business as usual
However, we will be implementing and maintaining enhanced social distancing and cleansing measures for all repair work and estimating.
I will be able to carry out quotes from pictures where possible which can be emailed to andy.cornell@chipsaway.co.uk or whatsapped / texted to 07855 946133 but I will also carry out home visits if required.
If you would like to send pictures for quotes, please send one or two close up and then one or two a bit further away so I can see the extent and position of the damage on the car and I will also need your name, address, email address and phone number plus the make, model and registration number of the car.
I will then be in touch as within 1 working day of receipt of your enquiry.
Christmas Opening Times
We will be closed for repairs from Weds 23rd December until Monday 4th January but will be available for quoting and enquiries on the 29th, 30th and 31st December
From all of us here, we hope you have as good a Christmas as possible given the current circumstances and hopefully we can look forward to a more positive New Year in 2021!

Covid 19 Tier 4 Update
WE ARE STAYING OPEN
Firstly, I hope you are keeping safe and well
We will be remaining open during the Tier 4 restrictions
After consulting with our Head office, not all businesses are required to close; indeed, the Government are actively seeking to keep construction and manufacturing type businesses operating
However, we will be operating under stricter social distancing and vehicle cleansing guidelines which will affect the way we carry our your quotes and repairs.
Details will be provided when contact has been made with us
August is just around the corner and we can't believe how quickly Summer is passing by. If you used the recent warmer weather to wash your car, you may have discovered some damage. Minor paintwork scratches, scuffs and dents caused by a stray shopping trolley or a reversing mishap are unfortunate but we are here to help.
Summer is the perfect time to get any damage repaired as colder weather can lead to rust complications and a more expensive repair.

13.9.17. Today is an exciting day for us.
I started this business 6 years ago last month and today we are repairing a car for our first ever customer, Mr Manfield from Shamley Green! Since I did his original repairs as a one man band in my van, we have repaired over 4,000 vehicles from cars and vans to horseboxes, lorries and motorhomes. I now have 3 repair technicians working for me and we have both a workshop and mobile repair services. It is so satisfying to see how we have grown and also the level of customer loyalty as witnessed by the repair today.
