Can't recommend any mobile repairers but Lichfield Accident Repair Centre has a good name for doing repairs. I personally have never used them nor do I know anyone who has used them BUT their name is usually circulated around these parts as a reputable place.
Going by their website http://www.larcuk.com they seem to have a fair sized workshop and plenty of equipment to boot (eg premium/prestigious cars, accident damage repair, chasis repair, restoration work and so on). As I said, I have never used them nor do I know any one who has personally used them it's just their name seems to crop up every now and then with regards to vehicle repairs, etc. Hope this helps.... |

I had my car park 'dings and dents' removed by Mr Dent Master today.
Absolutely amazing result. I got this done through my local Bodyshop. They call this chap out when they have about a days work for him. I haven't had the invoice yet but the Bodyshop stated in the region of £60-£70 per panel. mykl

Now that sounds like a reasonable price to restore the good looks to my ZT.
Anybody know of a 'Dent Master' in North Wales? Cheers Tim |

Here is a link to a similar company covering your area. http://www.dentdevils.co.uk/wales.htm Check their pricing prior to call out as I couldn't see any reference, unlike Dent Master who state on their website 'from £45.00 + VAT per panel' mykl

these places are best found on a word of mouth basis.

its a 50/50 gamble finding a good 'en.
you see more poor repairs than you do good. Why not try a local bodyshop? |

In my case it was my local bodyshop that recommended Dent Master as they themselves use this service and indeed it was booked through my local bodyshop and carried out in their carpark. Bodyshop stated that they are happy to offer this service to the customer if the type of dent suited this type of repair, as it was far cheaper. I totally agree that word of mouth recommendations or sight of past work is the best way to ensure your repair is in safe hands. mykl

I think i'll ask my local dealer (5 mins walking distance) who they use and see if I can add my car the next time they have 'a man in'.
Cheers Tim PS Noticed that Halfords in Rhyl now offer a dent removal service. Not really the place to go but no harm in asking for a quote to compare with others. Last edited by TimO; 16th March 2007 at 18:24.. |
