Getting car to showroom condition ?

    I have a 3 year old A3 with a few scratches here and there. One is on the bonnet - think a d1ckhead sat on it with jeans (rivets scratched it). Couple of marks picked up in car parks. Another is a deeper scratch on rear bumper where I clipped a pillar when reversing.

    Can someone recommend where I could go to get these minor things repaired ? I was gonna change the car in new year but think I'll hang on to it for another year - would like to get these few things sorted.

    Don't really want to spend a fortune - I presume if I traded this car in the dealer would get them repaired before trying to sell it. What do they do ?

    I was thinking of somewhere like www.carcraft.ie ?

    thanks

    They did a decent job on my bro-in-laws Merc S320 good colour match and you couldn't notice the scratch when completed. I have a good few marks on my bumper (S320) they told me €200 for a job done on that and another €200 to get all the swirls, oxidisation etc outta the paintwork on the body not a bad price to get it back to showroom. Bit of a small outfit when you pull up to it but bro-in-law was happy until next day he brought his son fishing and stopped off at a shop to buy him icecream and the kid opened the door right onto a pole exactly at the same spot on the car door, needless to say he wasn't happy, shouldn't be parking near poles.
