Angry Recommendations for getting bodywork ding fixed!

Some fuppin idiot opened his car door into the side of my pride and joy this morning with me sitting in the front seat!
Luckily I got his details….
Therefore I have a small crease and a paint scratch on my passenger door that aforementioned ijit is going to pay for sorting.
Can anyone recommend someone in the Sussex area?
Not sure if a dent-magician can sort it out if the paint is removed?
Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hehe - if he's going to pay, take it to a main dealer

Otherwise I'd be tempted to get a dent remover to fix, buy some touch up paint, apply gently and T-cut in...

Bit of a drive from Sussex, but Littleknocks are top quality and really know scoobys. They do paint free and painted repairs.

Dent Devils! Look them up in yellow pages, they may have a franchise in your area. Bloke comes to you does paintless dent removal for approx £80 per panel irrespective of how many dents are in the panel, so long as they are cosmetic and not major.

Cheers Guys,

Little Knocks a bit of a trek to get to unfortunately, but I need to balance this with the chances of being able to find someone locally that can do a good job – this issue of franchise variability that people report for the larger companies scares me
