Minor dent removal/alloy repair - Leeds area ???
 
Can anyone recommend someone for minor dent removal in the Leeds/Yorks area please ? I have a couple of car park dings :mad: I'm chasing the Dentmaster/Dentwizard type of place.
I've just been down to Scratches & Scuffs on Kirkstall Rd but they seem to have folded. Gonna call their head office to find out.
Has anyone used Chips Away, and if so is the Leeds or Bradford guy the best ?

Also, someone recommended an alloy wheel refurbishers in York to me a while back. I'll try and find it with search, but if anyone knows of them I'd be grateful. The G/F buckled an alloy on a pothole recently (so it needs more than refinishing) and we're claiming from the council for a replacement, but I'd like to get the damaged one fixed to use as a spare.

Appreciated :thumb:

Re the dents. I've used a guy up my way fron Dent Devils and he is top notch (he has done mine twice so my :( turned to :)) so you may want to look out for their local guy.
Hope this helps

I had the same prob's, one in drivers door near handle & right on the line near the top of the door, & a small dent in middle of bonnet.
I rang Chips Away (Waky area) but they only do paint repair's, he gave me the number of Dent Solutions, he's a mobile guy came to my work to do mine last week, did a top job took about hour, no sign of the dents now.
His name is Dan, his number is 07813 817338.

Simon, tried Dent Devils and they have no-one local.

Mark, will contact Dan next week :thumb: and I may use ChipsAway for a little scratch that I did myself :rolleyes:

Steffi, if it's just a scrape on the wheel then Scuffs & Scrapes refurb them. If it's a buckle then we both really need to find that place in York.

I've also been directed to a place on Cross Green Ind Est who do dents, and possibly minor paint work. I may give them a visit on monday so I'll let you know, but they quoted me 65 quid for a ding on each door. I'll ask them about alloys whilst I'm there too.

I need the same sort of thing in Leeds as some kind hearted soul backed a Police van into my car last night.

Is that dent too big to get out do you think?

SCD Simon 02 April 2005 09:42 AM

I suspect it it is :(
The guy that does mine says about 1.5 to 2 inch is the max but it all depends where it is aswell.

Bugger:mad:

£54 for the sidelight!(unless anyone has one?) Taking it down to Colin Pitt in Otley on Monday for them to have a look at it.
Apparently KT Greens use them for minor body repairs and they come highly recommended.

I've used the Leeds/Bradford chips away bloke a year or so ago and had no problems at all.

Looks too bad that one to push out due to the paint cracking on reversal.i think you will be better off getting it filled and feathered in

Pauleds2 03 April 2005 11:29 PM

Thanks Powerman, i agree.:cry:
