My car is in need of some bodywork attention.
Small stonechips,scratches, and small crack in window.
Has anybody used one of these mobile companies, that come out to your house?
I'm located in the Leeds area.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

stop perving at "small crack in window".......

If it s got a crack, get a new one on your glass insurance..
All come to your door van painting berks that i've seen do a crap job. they don't take long and cost nowt... usual, you get what you pay for...

I cannot direct you to a firm but can give you guidance. I had the same issues in Edinburgh so I asked the local Porsche dealer (my RS is polar silver) who did their paint jobs. Got pointed in the direction of Stewart Roden in West Lothian (also run the ferrari racing team up here). They did a fantastic job on the bonnet.
I suggest you ask around people like JCT600 and get an idea who is good and get a quote.
Do not let the 'touch up boys' lose. If you can try a good wax such as zymol before anything else.
