Although ChipsAway started trading in South Africa in 1995, it is true to say that the business has only just "scratched the surface".

Responsible for introducing the concept of cosmetic SMART repair to South Africa, ChipsAway is by far the market leader in this sector. A move to mobile based operators focusing on the ‘Retail’ sector has given rise to opportunities in all areas of the country.

Two-thirds of owners of vehicles requiring repair said that they would willingly utilise a convenient cost-effective and speedy repair service, particularly if it could be provided at home or work.

With the ever increasing number of SMART insurance policies there is a ready market of private clients looking for the personalised service offered by ChipsAway.

With the average panel beater repair costing over R3,000 and requiring the vehicle for up to 5 days, the comparison of the ChipsAway repair averaging R1,000 and being carried out in a few hours makes the point far better than any words.
