I used Dent Wizard, same setup as DM. They usually charge £80 per panel (so £75 is about the going rate) and I needed 3 out of 4 doors doing but they cut me a deal and did the lot for £100.

We have used Dent-Fixa (Richard Voce)very reasonable price, certainly not £75 per panel.

Beechdale in Nottingham also use him - took the Scoob there when it was a week old (Oops!!) Also took a dent out of our other car for 1/4 the price of the dealer (nissan). Very tidy job an all!

I also know that a number of other people on this BBS have used his services in the past.

If you would like his phone no. email me off line, I have his card in front of me now.

Clare if you want to drive to brum sunday i'll get your door done for around £20, Wont take any longer than an hour, Mail me

Pete, they use a selection of steal rods, with an assortment of different shaped heads on them and prize the dent out from the inside of the panel.

I have even seen them use a small hammer on the outside of the dent / panel to get it flush again

BUT it looks the dogs when they are finished

I have a dent/crease in the pasenger side rear wing, just above the wheel arch, behind rear door. Can this be removed? As ita a crease rather than dent I wondered if it would be permannent?

NP, IF its a horizontal crease its the worst type to get out, might not be able to get it out completely but it can be made to look a lot better.

Needs to be seen really mate

Nuclear Pond,
I have had all sorts of dents and a particularly bad horizontal crease taken out of the top of my drivers side front wing.(step ladders fell on it whilst in the garage!). So don't despair these guys can work miracles. Pity your not in the north west, Bolton area, I know this top guy who would do it as a cash in hand jobby.

Good luck Rasher..

A guy looked at it today form ChipsAway. Said that because he cant get to the inside, via wheelarch, he would need to drill a small hole in the panel inside the rear door, just below the U shaped catch, to ghet the rods in. I was a bit worried about the drilling bit. Is this OK? He sais it would be sealed afterwards.
