Removing the dent is not the problem sorting the chip is you will see that its been touched in

How about chips away?........ they may be able to help you out

Very common thing, the dent is the bit that draws your eye to it. Would not bother with Chipsaway to be honest as they will want to paint and fill which will only look good for 6 months and it never looks right. Get the dent done and touch it in if its not a massive scratch / chip. I am midlands based but do come down to BCA Newport now and again, cant really reccomend anyone down that way as the lads I work with at Newport are Plymouth, Swindon, Northants etc

the thing to ermember is that dent master is a franchise business, so you'll get some good and some bad experiences, its really a word of mouth kind of thing on something "special" like that. if it were a shopping hack it might not matter so much

Theres more than u can shake a stick at around here but as said its word of mouth that counts as there are a lot of people who think they can do it
Even i sometimes get my mate to some that i'm not confident to do

as above, i have seen amazing dents removed you would never believe it, theres vids on youtube one of em he hits a quarter of a porsche with a bowling ball an repairs it.

as its chipped the paint i would sugest a bodyshop, they will repair the dent, base coat a small area and laquer the whole wing, that the only right way for a invisible repair. rough cost Ł100 - Ł200

Dent Master is dead Dent Wizard is the rebranded name and they do still have some corp techs but as Orionmojo says your end up with a franchisee who may but good or maybe not Post a pic up

thats something i was told a while ago, cos i was gonna get them out. i spose i listened cos theres still 2 dents in the door of my cortina whats the point of paying someone to make it worse

dickycox

So i think ill take it to these guys buy me who have a paint shop they can get the dent out then bloe it in .

a blow in local is good but for a proper job the whole panel should be laquered

JMC

Bodyshop will only call a dent guy out and charge you well over the odds to do it, then probably do a local on it. Take it being one of the cars trophies its a concourse job? Any dent guy should get it out mint or tell you before working on it that there is going to be a trace or a best possible repair.
If you ring up a main dealer they will usually reccomend someone so you dont end up with a chimp whos done a 2 week course and has a bag full off bars
