Ding/dent repair advice
 

Where i live was caught in a pretty brutal hail storm earlier resulting in several dings in all 3 cars on my drive.( scooby 5 off, golf 1 off, pug 2 off)
My question is would it be worth calling dentmasters(or similar) or would i be better off in a professional bodyshop?
Do dentmasters charge per dent ? Opinions and advice welcome. thanks

Insurance claim or not??

I've used a mobile dent man before, utterly amazed at the work. Charged me by the panel, think it was circa £30 a panel for cash.

My wife got caught out in Asfordby nr Melton Mowbray in our 407 estate. It got battered, must be about 100 dents everywhere. Insurance won't cover it as its an act of god.

Gutted, it's going to take hours for a dent expert to remove them all.......

My local dent man charged me £40 to remove all the dents in my car, there were about 7 dents and in total and he was on nearly 1.5 hours, came to my work too whilst on back shift.

As stated before they can produce some amazing work and most will do a free estimate, should imagine they will be busy atm!

That seems a bit harsh. I have phoned house ins to see if covered in some way.(long shot but as its 3 cars thought it worth try) No joy tho.
Will ring car ins tomoz but would imagine would prove to costly that route.

pop some pics up guys,, i want to see the extent of this hail damage,.

Couldnt get the small uns to show to well on camera.

I work in a smart repair centre and there are some good skilled blokes, for those dents I would get a paintless dent removal, comin from a bodyshop background must other repairs it worth doing the Job correctly and going bodyshop,

thats pants...... im gutted for you

The hawk wrx on my street (parked a few miles away today) had 43 dents on the bonnet alone! Looking like a write off

Can you word it again please mate? Didnt understand last bit. cheers

Tell them you're an atheist and that whilst you don't believe in god, if they do then they should sue him, otherwise pay up. :thumb:

:lol: effin well said, has this been tried out before?, i couldnt imagine how the insurance company would answer to that.

Red, nip down to MARC (melton accident repair centre) on Snow Hill and see if theres anything he can do, they deal with a lot of insurance claim work.

When you consider that if a storm lifts you house roof off, your home insurance covers it, so why shouldn't such events be covered on car insurance!

Out of all insurance scams going, an 'act of god' is the biggest! Unfortunately you'll have probably signed a document with the small print stating that acts of god are not covered.

Aye. Is it mr hellier? He did a bit of work for me on side years ago if it is.

Thats the one fella, tell him Stu the aerial man sent you :)

This was on another forum showing the storm which caused the damage.

Dent man been today. 10 yrs worth of dents and dings repaired for the grand sum of 50 quid! Pretty decent job aswell to be fair. Result.

That's really cheap! I rekon they'll creep back overnight:Suspiciou

Got a few dents in the bonnet and boot lid and a couple small car par dinks.

Cheers

I live in Hinckley and that hail storm was unbelievable,golf ball sized hail stones,loads of property damage,house roofs wrecked,hundreds of cars damaged,I had over 50 dents on my Mazda,and 1 dent on the Scooby even though it was in the garage as the back part of the garage was perspex and that just got blasted to bits.
All cars are covered by insurance thank fully.

Can you pm his number mate :thumb: Glad you got it sorted.

Just had a budget cost on mine at £3k. New bonnet plus other repairs plus practically a respray.

See Post 25 for photo links to bonnet and roof although vitually every panel affected https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...il-stones.html

Oh dear mate. Dentmaster not gonna ping them out eh!

Act of god??? Are they serious what about flood damage to cars they seem to cobver that

Well it seems that they've now changed their stance as they will now cover it.......guess enough atheists complained.... lol :lol1::lol1:
