Title: Dent Wizards
Post by: bodger00 on May 02, 2011, 08:53:48 pm
Has anyone used this company?  Would you recommend them?

After a supermarket visit I have a two pence sized dent in my door :fighting:

I think that they are, like Chips Away, a franchise. So you may find that the guy that covers your area is great/poor. I'd ask your local bodyshop who they use for small repairs, also ask your dealer (if they are any good).

Personal recommendation is king, here.

I agree - go and have a quiet word with your local sales team at a big dealership. They get these services for peanuts from local independant 'dent removers' - which makes the service mobile and pretty cheap. Even cheaper if you get a name of somebody at the dealer to quote!

My brother referred me to somebody, and it was less than £50 for a decent sized dent.

Nice advice - thanks. Anyone have any recommendations for work in the North East?

In that case mate, I'd speak to the good folk at Peter Fraser Accident repair in Anlaby. A great bodyshop, and they have a first class dent remoing guy who, I think, is mobile.

Sadly, & ironically, after all my advice, I came out to my car this lunchtime to find some thoughtless tw*t has stuck two dents and a nice patch of scratches into my nearside wheel arch. So Nigel the uber dent remover is coming on Friday mornig to sort me out. PM me & I'll give you his mobile number. I used him before when my Subaru needed his attention & he's brilliant.

Cheers Lou :happy2: Although I have just checked where Anlaby is and its further away than I thought. I guess your man won't head as far as North Yorkshire :sad1:

Bummer, I doubt it. However you could always arrange to meet him somewhere in the scenic East Riding? Experience the thrills, fish & fleshpots of thriving Hull, culture centre of the Humber  :laugh:

Actually you could in all seriousness arrange to meet him at Fraser Accident repair. He's worth the trip.

hi yes, ive used a mobile guy who is based around durham area, he did my impreza which was full of dents for a total of £80, must have been 10+dents to fix.  His work was amazing to the point of he fixed a full lower door ripple where some old dear drove her car down the side of my car.

His mobile is 07759 430132, though this maybe out of date as this was about a year and a half ago.

try him he was highly recommended on the subaru forums.

Well, true to form, Nigel worked his magic on the wing and now it's like new. Brilliant.

And to top it all, removing both those dents and making good only cost me £45.

So a big  :happy2: to Nigel. If you need a dent meister in the Hull area, he's on 07880 791017 and I heartily recommend him.
