Any one used Dent Devil or Dentmaster.
Are they any good and what sort of marks can they remove.

I have a couple of pin dents on my Scooby and the wife has a verticle crease on her Fiesta. Both are fairly minor and most people would ignore them.

But being me I'd like to see them gone.

What do these guy's charge for a typical repair and how long does it take them.

Cheers....

Thumbs up

Used Dentmaster last year. Had about half a dozen little dings on doors plus dent on top of wing where film company had damaged it trying to bounce it up and down to simulate car being driven.
TV company insurance claim, TOP CLASS JOB, took about 1/half hours cost £120, and at that I reckon they charged more cos it was an insurance job, bet it would have been less for cash.

Good Luck

Going rate seems to be about £60 per panel irrespective of one or ten dents (kick your door in and get your money's worth!) - but general concensus seems to be they will do a cash deal for multiple panels (they are franchises so it depends on the individual).

Time taken depends on damage.....

I used Dentmasters (the NI franchise) as some Tw@t punched (sorry I need to say this again TW@T!!!!! ) my C pillar they quoted me £90 but said it might not be perfect as this was one area in the scoob that isn't made of something similar to tinfoil, It wasn't perfect but only just, so he only charged me £45.

Very Good indeed

Scott.

I used Dent Devils a couple of weeks back. They took a pretty major crease out of my boot after some ba5tard did a hit and run.
It was apparently a difficult-ish job as the boot is aluminium but the result was perfect.

They charged £75 per panel.

Kevin at Dentmaster (Uxbridge) has just done a fabulous job of removing the car park dings from my Scooby. I was quoted £85+VAT per panel, which seemed a bit steep, so I just asked for the one worst dent to be fixed - but when he came and saw the car he said that he'd fix the others for free because none of them were too serious!

The worst dent (which was quite sharp, caused by a twig poking out of a hedge) is still just about visible under the right light, but the others have gone completely. Top job and well worth the money IMHO!

Andy.
