Paintless dent removal-how good?

Featured Replies

As the title says really. Have picked up a few small dents in the superb recently. And I mean small, most people wouldn't bother with them. Only thing is if I leave them, they will drive me mad!! The paint is fine, has anyone had any experience of companies offering this? Particularly in the Hereford and Worcester area. Approx cost etc!

Thanks

i use a PDR guy here and hes spot on. been doing it for so long hes got a kinda squint now from staring at the white board he uses lol!

bear in mind that in some places they will have to drill into the bodywork to get the lever in to push the dent out. it deos seem scarey but they seal it after with a bung so its as water tight as pos, and normally looks like it was mean to be there, like a drain plug of cover of some sort.

worth doing it if they bug you, and maybe ask them to do the lot at a cheaper rate? HTH

Had 3 dents knocked out of my front wing and door and you wouldn't know they were there......thoroughly recommend this type of work but I am guessing the guy that did mine wouldn't travel to where you are......only cost me £50 cash as well where he usually charged around £70 per panel....

We have a paintless dent removal service at Halfords. It's expensive, so I probably wouldn't use it myself, but they do an excellent job.

The company we sub-contract to is called Shine! .

Any idea on Halfords prices?

I have 2 tiny dents on the rear quarter, another tiny one on the bonnet, and a normal parking dink in the passenger front door. Would gladly pay £200 to remove the 4 of them...

Um... it depends on how many panels they're on. I'm not sure about the bonnet without checking with them, but I think you'd get the others done for about £200. Even the most expensive dent is about £125, and that's for a fair sized one. Parking dings are normally much less.

Try and find a store near you who has a technician visit, if you PM me your postcode I'll see if I can find out where they are for you...

Well, I'm in head office so I own you. :D

The scratches are painted, yeah... so if you have a scratch and a dent in the same place then obviously they paint the dent. If you've just got a little depression, or a car park ding (which is what I assumed) then they just push it out from the other side. Stands to reason though that if the paint gets damaged when they push the dent out for whatever reason, they'll paint over it.

That said, it seems to depend on the technician as well.

Hi Tom, are you still needing your dents looking at? I am a dent man, i live in Watford and work in Corby so if i can help anyway then just send me a message. Cheers - Kev.

yes, still looking to get them fixed. Are you mobile??

Had a dent removed from the wifes previous Fabia before purchase and you could not

see where it was :)

I'm usually fixed to one site but i can always hook up with you one weekend. When are you looking to get them done?

I'll send you a PM, am weary of the advertising rules of the site ;)

Just had three dents removed from my two week old Octy Vrs (b****y fireworks), I'm right fussy and can no longer see them. Cost me 130 from a company near Southampton, but worth every penny.
