Dent Devils - anyone used them?

I need to sort a couple of big stone chips and parking dents on my lease car before it goes back. I'm waiting for an estimate back from Dent Devlis after submitting some photos to them.

Anyone used them before and have any feedback?

it depends mainly on the chap you get as it is a franchise, also on the location and type of dent. mostly they seem to be good at dents and less good at stone chips.

The best write ups I have read (Evo etc) always seemed to be the people who work through Halfords.
Might still be the case.
Sorry, don't know DDevils.

Do it the Locost way.

Tin of filler, rattle can, some mud. Sorted.

I had a couple of parking dings removed last year - very good job and you would never know.

trust me my car washing regime makes it very difficult to detect what colour the car is let alone any blemishes

Unfortunately the lease company inspection team are rather thorough and have been know in recent times to take a car to the local car wash before completing their inspection to ensure they don't miss any chargeable damage to the vehicle. Probably a sign of the tight £££ times, but they're even down to insisting that the garage provide measurements on discs and pads and tyres etc before they approve replacements. I'm told the garage is then obliged to keep the old items for a certain period in case the lease company want to inspect them!

A friend at work has just forked out a grand to the lease company as his (wifes car) had some minor scratches, in fact so minor i didnt even see them

Now m8 reckons the lease company monkey did a couple of them while m8 was inside the garage retriving the parcel shelve, as he was certain they were not there an hour before
