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

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.

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,

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.

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.
