Default Dint Removal

My good neighbours have kindly put a dint into my rear door.

Is there is company I can call upon to remove the dint? It's not the biggest dint but if I can get it removed, I want to. If it removable, does anyone know how much I am looking at since I'll have to foot the bill as there is no chance of my neighbour paying up.

for £100 (going back 3 years) they went round my old astra (metalic black, both dents and chipsaway) and removed a dent about 3 inche's long (sster opened dads car door into my door), polished out the scuff (no damage to the paint) and then went round the whole car polishing out all the scratches etc.

chap was called norman and he works int he nottingham area.

Thankfully there is no paint damage but I feel like damaging my neighbour. They have no respect for other peoples property. On numerous occassions I have come out in a morning to find my car mirror on the passenger side pushed in so she could move her car up her drive. It annoys me since my car is on my property so why should anyone touch it. If you want to drive your car past mine then surely you push your own mirror in. If she was to damage the wiring for the electric mirrors you can bet your bottom dollar she wont pay for it. Rant over.

tis the problem with shared drives. My cousin has no end of problems with his neighbours. Only thing you can do is park it as far over to your side as possible, and have a word with your neighbour politely say would you mind if you didn't push my mirror in please.

I play a bit of golf (poorly), a couple of weeks ago I was playing off the windy 9th when the ball decided it was time to go home so set off in direction of the car park. I saw it skipping across and try to get into my car. It missed the window but managed to make a dint in the wing. It's on the corner so a dent puller won't work either. I tried to get it out but it would involve removing the arch liner and everything else. Do you think those guys could get this out???
Anyone got before/after pics of dint's the've had removed?

When i called one out, it was free for a quote. They'll tell you what can & can't be done. Just give 'em a call.

Maybe get a lift off someone to the golf course next time
