Do they deal with small rust spots?

I saw a spot of rust the size of a two pence coin......if they did fix it what sort of price do you think they charge?

Thanks

Not too sure if they`d deal with rust,as that involves a lot more preparation work than simply touching up paint that still has a good base to it.
Depends how busy your local rep is I suppose.

I scratched my company car with a small but deep scrape on the wheel arch - about the size of a couple of 2 pence pieces ;) . It was one of those "I`ll probably get away with it when the car is returned" type things, but decided that if I could get it done cheap out of my own pocket it may save me being charged for it if the lease company get picky. I was under the impression that Chips Away have some fantastic system for cheaply repairing such things - wrong!!! Quoted me £200 ex VAT.

I may as well see if the lease company will let it slide as "wear and tear", even if they don`t I can put it through on the company insurance and pay the excess which is cheaper than the Chips Away quote.

Trouble is with something like that they`d had to re-spray the whole wing to get the paint to match in - hence the cost.

Yeah - I think that`s why it was high. I was under the impression they had some miracle method to cheaply repair such things. Guess I was thinking about windscreen chips - DOH :D
