Cigarette burn

Nov 18, 2003 3 Replies

Hiya guys



I allowed a friend to use my car to pop into town as his Civic type R was being serviced, and the little s*1t put a fag burn on my drivers seat.



The car in question is a Mk3 Golf which will be going on Autotrader soon (to make way for a new Seat Leon 1.9TDI SE), so i would like to try and repair the damage with out buying it costing too much.



Any advice would be a great help.



Cheers

There should be plenty of trim repairers in your Yellow Pages but if not, a local car dealer can tell you a name.

Having said that, the repairs are not always perfect. They are often acceptable enough for a used car but if you want it perfect I would get him to pay for a new seatcover.

As an alternative I would get a written quote from your local dealer to supply & fit a cover and still do a trim repair.

If the buyer accepts it fine, if not you could show him the quote and agree to adjust the price accordingly?

Hi, I recently had some work done with the local "Chipsaway" guy. Excellent work to body scratches and stonechips and very reasonable too. I believe they do trim repairs too. Give 'em a try, the guy who did mine is in the Yate/North Bristol area, can post the contact details if that area any good to you
