Where can I have paintwork damage repaired cheaply in London?

A vandal has put a long deep fine scratch along the bonnet of my E-Class Mercedes. Are these mobile car chip and scratch repairers any good? I live in central London.

There are limitations to what they can do, but some of them enable you to send a digital photo of the damage so they can assess it without coming to see the car. www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/damage/
