I returned to my parked Octy today to find that some scumbag had put a small dent in the driver's door (Looks like it was done by a cyclist).

Anyway the paint is not broken and I am sure I have read somewhere that there are companies that repair dents that don't need painting at your home.

Does anyone have experience of any of these companies and can anyone recommend one in South London/North Surrey?

Any advice will be gratefully received.

Can be done. Not always cheap though.

Check your yellow pages for firms like dent devil etc.

did you look at the video of removing the dent with a hairdryer and air duster? dunno if you want to try this before calling in a pro.....

Chips Away charge approx.

Can also recommend Chips Away. They charged a reasonable price to sort out my Fabia after the missus decided to park it in a wall....

The wheel arch, wing, sill, door and rubbing strip all had degrees of denting / scraping, although all purely cosmetic it was spread over lots of panels and highly noticable!

Thanks for your all your advice. The local Chipsaway guy does not do paintless dent removal but I have found a company called Dent Angel. They are coming next week so I'll let you know how I get on.

Tony from Dent Angel came today (eventually)... Amazing - door looks as good as new, you would never know it had been dented. Cost

Good stuff amazing what these guys can do
