Dents and panels

Got a dent?

Car park dents, creased doors, trolley dings. Small ones come out without paint; bigger ones are filled, shaped and painted so the panel reads as one surface again.

What we do
  1. We look at where the dent is and whether the paint has cracked, which decides everything that follows.
  2. A shallow dent with the paint intact is pushed out from behind, with no paint needed.
  3. A creased or cracked one is knocked back into shape, the low spots are levelled, and the panel is painted.
  4. Either way the panel is checked in raking light before it leaves, because that is where a bad dent job shows.
With paint or without

Sometimes the dent is worse than it looks and sometimes it is better, and the photo tells us which.

Pushed out, levelled and painted

A shallow dent with the paint intact is pushed out from behind, and the panel keeps its original paint.

What to send us
  • Two or three photos of the damage, taken in daylight if you can.
  • The make, model and colour, or the paint code if you know it.
  • Your postcode.

What will it cost?

Most dents cost less to fix than the excess, so most people pay for them without going through their insurance.

Send a photo in daylight and we will say which yours is.
