    Anyone hazard a guess on cost of getting this scratch fixed? Any recommended places or mobile repairers?

    Looking to sell the car privately so want to make it right.

    You’ll find it will range between £200-£400, dependant on where you take it.
    Whoever does it will do half the side of the car,

    ps if it’s a common car, it may be cheaper to get another door from a breakers yard (usually around £80)

    A few years ago someone keyed my car across both doors and front and rear panels. Dave at The Paint Spot, which is now based in Cec Penney’s garage in Springvale, did a fantastic job and charged around 400 quid I seem to remember so you should be looking at something less than that.

    Had this repaired about 12 months ago at Kirbys on Barnsley Road Wombwell. Had a similar quote from a place on Wombwell Lane Stairfoot just past the Keel pub.
    Darn it, file’s too big.

    A guy repaired a scratch on mine that was about that length but much deeper from being keyed (it didn't have as many seperate lines like that but he had to paint the entire side anyway so I don't suppose that matters too much). It cost me £120 which I thought was insanely cheap after seeing other quotes at £300+. I know it's a bit of a drive over here though so probably not worth the effort. He is from Barnsley though (which I didn't know until after I had booked and he didn't know I was from there either so I don't think I got a discount for that). It looks perfect again now (I had it done about a year ago and it still looks great).

    This guy did a couple on my lads new car. One was £160 and the other £120, they are smart repairs and have been brilliant. He's done work for Honda and more recently Volvo in Wakefield

    I had my car keyed on both sides. 3 on one side and 1 on the other. I checked out a respray and scratch repair and it would have cost as much as the car was worth. Scratch repair seems very expensive when compared to a respray. But I could have just got some high quotes.

    Why are cars getting keyed? Is it Barnsley fc transfers?

    I've used Mike Tinker a few times over the years. Always done a good job.
