Dent Removal Group Buy Time??
With show season nearly upon us i thought i'd ask if we should get another one going. I organised a couple of these last year and all went well 
I had Mike from 'Mend A Dent' at my unit this week and i asked if he'd be happy to do the same deal at £60 per car and he's fine with this. If you've got 5 or 6 or even 20 or 30 dents it'll be a fixed price of £60 and believe me this guy is the best by far i've used!!
If this is of interest then just start a list or if it's too soon in the year just let me know...........lets try to get at least 5 definates for this, i think around 15 made it last time

| was'nt impresed with what i've seen of Mike's work to be honest and think with a bit of practice i could do better, i think Steve Magill (Dent devils) or Craig Morrissey (Exeldent) far better imo.

What car and dents were you unhappy about as i'm sure he'd be only too pleased to deal with any complaints.
I've used most dent companies as i deal in Jap sports cars and Mike has consistently been the best and is highly regarded in the motor trade, i've seen one of your lads mentioned work and frankly it was left a little to be desired but that's only my personal opinion

It was my car Jarvis was refering to, tbh i was happy with the job at first untill i got home and noticed Mike had broken an interior panel which he removed to get to a dent. It was only when pointed out that a couple of the dents had been pushed out to far so it was like a small lump. To be honest i didnt really know the difference at the time but the more im getting into bodywork the more im learning. Nobody wants tobe hanging about taking dents out on a staurday morning but overall i think Mike had rushed a little. Whether it was because it was only a 1000 quid Justy i do not know but i personally wouldnt use him again. This wasnt said to put anyone off the group buy and i hope everyone has a great job done on their car.

Ah right, i don't think even God himself would be able to restore your little Justy to pristine condition for £60 Ryan.Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you also need to be realistic, your car really would need a full bodyshop re-paint to make it perfect as i would myself since turning 40 
Anyway, i'm not getting into a debate or argument of "who's the best", i've been asked by a few members to organise a 3rd day and that's what i'm doing. I've used Mike for years after trying several 'experts' that were quite frankly crap. I don't earn / profit nor gain by this but if i can help a few people out then i'm good with that

To be honest Calv i hav'nt used the bars in anger for a few years, did my training in Ayce systems hq up in Skipton, Yorkshire and soon after realised it was counter productive for a body shop to do smart repairs/paintless dent removal, i recon i'd be abit out of practice now and you need to be doing it day in day out to reach a high standard, and some never reach that standard ever, may have a practice on the apprentices car first and let you know, pity to have a few grand worth of kit and training and not use them

Sorry guys, but Dave has been good enough to organise this group buy for us why are you so hell bent on shooting him down. If you two ain't happy with the group buy then don't come, simple.
Thank you again Dave I will be there along with the rest of the troops.

I am a little annoyed if i'm honest and if this is personally directed at me Mr Hawk i must say i'm not a fan of keyboard warriors. Perhaps you could organise a better one especially as you seem to be a fully active club member whereas i am more of an occasional one.
Ryans car was done on GB1 and this'll be GB4.....where were the complaints after the 1st one?? There were 15 cars at Mikes on the last GB and all were extremely happy
In any aspect of life / business then there will always be happy customers and not so happy customers but when a complaint arises over one year later it seems a little odd to bring it up now.
Rant over..........when do you want this sorted out guys as i doubt i'll bother again if it's going to cause me any unnecessary grief

Thanks Dave for organising this, I'm not in a rush myself so I can have it done later on. 
Hope all is well and I look forward to catching up with you.
