Very pleased. After four and a half years, the GC had accumulated a number of dings and dents, the most annoying of which was a biggish shallow vertical crease in the front passenger door of the sort caused by the careless opening of someone else’s car door. That side of the car had two more smaller creases (one also on the front door as well as one on the rear door) as well as a pin dent on the rear corner above one back light. The other side had a parking ding under the drivers door handle and dent on the side of the bonnet caused an errant scooting child. Finally there is a stone chip above the bonnet badge big enough to be a dent.
They are now all gone thanks to an excellent mobile dent remover chap from Dent Devils who turned up this afternoon and got rid of the lot for what felt like a thoroughly reasonable £120.

It's amazing what they can do. I used them years ago when I opened the Legacy door onto a post.

I’ve just had a look at their website as I need some dents taken out of mine, but they don’t do dents with paint damage so I’ll have to look elsewhere

To be honest I simply googled “Dent Removal Ipswich” and they were one of the top hits. Liked what I read and they were very quick to respond. I enquired on Friday evening via an online form and a locally based chap got in touch first thing this morning and was able to fit me in after 4pm same day.

I must look in to them; I have a very small, almost pin-dent in the front of the offside rear arch that happened in the first week of owning the car, and just recently noticed another more 'classic' dent in the bonnet. In both cases the paint is intact, so worth making the call at least.

The only issue with bonnet dents is they normally can't sort them if they are behind one of the strengthening bars welded to the underside of the bonnet. Andy, the paint issue is something you can talk to the guy and get a deal on. The reason the companies like Dent Master etc say they won't do dents with paint damage is that they don't want a claim to respray a panel. However if you speak to the guy when he is there and say you know there is paint damage but would still like the dent repaired, they will normally do it for you. |

The bonnet dent on the side was in a tricky place but he dealt with it using a some sort of glue gun.

Very hard to photograph (couldn’t get the ones on the flanks to show up for love nor money) but here is the pin dent before and after:   |

And the dent on side of bonnet (didn’t have a before of this one but there was a dent where marked with the second red ring above the scratch). Both scratch and dent were caused by a neighbour’s 5yr old hitting it with the handlebar of her scooter - wobbled as she was passing car and fell sideways onto it. This is the one he had to use the glue gun thingy to fix and I must say I can’t see it any more.   |

This was the side with the worst three dents - looks pretty flawless now:  |

Well worth the outlay and even with the system they have, you still get some tech's better than others.

£120. Blimey that's cheap for what you had done.
