Title: GRRR Bloody car park dent!
Post by: dmac1969 on May 24, 2011, 11:08:23 am

Hi all , just found a nice car park dent in my rear passenger side quarter panel (3 door car) , My dealer adverstises dent removal services (from £60) , should I get them to do it when its in for a service next week? Does anyone know if they use an outside contractor or their own bodyshop people. I need to get it sorted as my eye gets drawn to it so easily and I think it spoils the car - bloody gutted  :confused:

Gutted mate! I can personally recommend a company called dentmagic, not sure where you live but they are based in Bristol and Newport. They are brilliant. I've had a few dents removed with them. No filling or spray just work the dent out. Probably similar price per panel though.  Good luck!

Best to give people some idea where you're located.

That way you'll likely to get some recommendations or otherwise from experience.
Most of these dent removal franchises are only as good as the person doing the actual work so its important to speak to someone locally thats used them.
Don't be in a rush to choose purely because its going in for a service next week..

I've used Dent Devils before and if you live in the Middx area I can recommend the guy who covers this area
