Have any of you guys used a service for dent removals on tin tops. Wifes car has two small dents, nothing major and no damage to paintwork. Got a quote for £80 - £90 to remove them and having no previous experience of them, don't know if this is good or not. Can they really remove the dents completely?

Anybody got any experiences?

Phil

i use a guy from dent devils, keith the guy that comes out does an amazing job you wouldnt know that the car was covered in shopping trolly dents

call them out them offer to pay cash for the other dents as theres a call out fee then a price per pannel

purely down to the guys skill. I have seen various standards, see how they fix the first before agreeing to let them continue. Last thing you need is a cowboy whacking your car with a hammer...this guy is hopeless

I had a chap do my Impreza. Cost me £40 for the bonnet and the roof. He used a device similar to a hub puller to remove some of the tricky ones... They bond a bolt onto your car (very scary indeed) and then screw a jig on top to lift the dent out...

It depends on where the dents are, if it is more of a crease and how long they get. Are you prepared to travel a bit?

We used to use Dent Devils, and they were excellent, creases dents digs amazing really. They do charge by the panel so cash might do the talking.
Big saving over conventional repairs.

dent devils used like long hammers on my car and bashed the dents from the inside of the doors and back wing

saw a video. they were putting dry ice on a small dent 5 mins later dent gone

Dent devils used too do all the cars on out forecourt, they do stone chips too (repair), the cars looked liked new when done.........

Often thought about training for the job myself but you see so many franchised vans on the road these days the market seems flooded.

Chips away is another one too try.

Chips away did a bike tank round at the shop the other day and they made a really good job of it.

That doesn't sound a bad price but it does depend on the dents.

I have a team of dent guys work for me so it is always a bit cheaper than that.

I have used Dent Devils in the past during busy periods and they have some good guys and some idiots.

Drop me a phone number Phil as you are only 1/2 hour away. I could get one of the guys to sort you out in his dinner break or at a weekend for less than half of that. One does weekend work and may travel to you!!

Another thumbs up for paintless dent removal. I had a fairly good ding on my front wing (parked car jumped out at me). Dent removal guy tapped and poked it from the inside with long curvy rods, stuck things to the outside with hot wax and pulled, after half an hour or so you couldn't see it at a glance. can just see a slight wrinkle if you get in the right place for it to catch the light.

Some drill a tiny hole in the dent, put a rod in, weld the end in, and pull it out. They then clean everything up.
