Default Dent Master or Similar

Anyone got any experience with these paintless dent removers, particularly in the Oxford area if possible, some low life has been less than gentle when opening a car door next to my pride and joy! Not Happy!

I did a Google search but there are not many listed around here, and I read that as a lot are franchised the level of service can vary, so personal recommendation is always better.

Cheers guys.

I have had a recommendation from a guy in the same village as me, a neighbour reckons he is really good so I will give him a go. QUotes between £45 and £80 per panel. I will let you know how i get on.

The whole episode has made me think about where I park!

I usually park either in a disabled bay, with wider access, or as far from the door of the store etc as possible, as people generally want to be as close as possible.

I do the latter, but cant you get done for parking in disabled? plus its not good if its a busy day, taking up a space that a disabled person could need!

Thing that gets me is disabled people are allowed to park 20 yards closer to the shop door than the rest of us, but they still hobble 2 miles round all the shops

Its mainly to allow them better access in and out of the car, but being closer to the shops is a bonus!

My son is disabled and life is hard enough some days, so those parking bays are a small bonus

i've found that even parking in the deepest darkest corner of the carpark miles from the shops you still get someone that will park next to you! so best to take 2 spots or park on the piss really badly

oh yeah, dent devils i've found are really good (we use them at work) but it does all come down to the guy doing it

Premier Dents called today, spotted three dents in the door in total, one crossing the crease/coach line. Quoted £60 for the panel.

Best £60 I have spent in years, fantastic job, totally invisible. To say I am happy is an understatement.

I had a chat with the guy and he confirmed the fact that the quality can be variable. His training lasted 3 months, others do it in a week then send the trainees away to practice.

If you need this done, go for a recommedation from someone wha has experienced the tradesman's work.
