chipsaway / chipbusters?

Thinking of getting two deep scratches repaired on my wife car (silver Zafira). They run right along both doors on one side (above and below door trim) and are deep (through the clear top coat and paint). They are narrow like they have been keyed. I was assuming it would be a full resparay of both doors and potential bleed into rear panal and wing but having heard some people suggest chipsaway or chipbusters I just wondered if people on here on used either / both and had any views on them and whether they would be able to do the job and what the end result was like?

Thanks for any help,

.Richard

Are these franchises so work quality will vary depending on where you are?

I have just received a scratch from a bit of metal from a bin lorry. I was thinking this might be a cheaper option than BMW for such a small mark. Anyone used them around Darlington / Stockton?
