Smart repair of very minor dents

[markjay]

Can these dents be repaired without respraying the entire door?

There is no paint damage, just the very annoying car-park dings.

Yes , i had a couple "smart" repaired on the doors of my CLS.

Chap used fancy levers etc to go inside the door skin, down the side of the window and tease the metal back into shape , no interior trim panels were removed.

Don't know if they're still in business, but Ace Dent, 95 Green Lane, New Eltham SE9 2AW, 020 8859 8382 did a superb job on a couple of car park dings on my 968 coupe during a demo at a high end bodyshop on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells.

Dent Devil was the best i have found .Did three cars for me .One was so bad i never thought he would look at it , never mind pull it out .But he did . Only last December i had this daft milk man jump on my boot to escape a toy poodle.Who would believe that .A giant of a lad that was that scared he jumped on my boot, to escape this 4 lb dog , i called him every word i could get my tongue to.He was lucky i didnot hang one on him .I saw it out of the window .He went on his way after the dog was called in .Never came to tell me what he had done .So i went after him .The work was done by Dent Devils .And the repair was paid for by the dogs owner .What a nice job they did on the boot lid. It was a friends dog that caused the problem .It was that or get post office involved . And they would ban the post at my friends house .So they paid up .

Ha ha... wish I knew this last week when I took the car to WIM in Chesham....

Another possible source of info - your local MB main dealer. Mine has a dent repairer in every week to check all the cars on their forecourt, if they're good enough for your local stealer they should be good enough!

I will have to use somebody to remove a dent on my car,it looks like somebody has stumble and put a hand out to save themselves,it is on the nearside rear quarter panel,about a foot from the roof,it is slight but with no paint damage I hope a expert can remove it.

Update:

So it seems that I need what is known as Paintless Dent Removal (PDR).

I have so far contacted:

Dent Devils - Dent Repairs & Removal | Dent Master|Dent Doctors |Fix Car Park Dent

Axi Dent - Axi-dent - Paintless Dent Removal Company (referral from Whoops Wheels Fix It who do not do PDR)

A1 Dent - Paintless dent removal (pdr) specialists in Central and west london | A1 Dents Ltd (referral from Chips Away who do not do PDR)

They all quoted £75+VAT per panel (i.e. £270 in total for the three 'dings') for a mobile service. So this seems like the going rate in the industry.

I have also contacted Dentfix - Dentfix - Dent Repair Specialists - Call: 0800 0188899 in Amersham but they did not get back to me yet.

Difficult choice... I really want to get this done by someone who will do the best possible job... and the prices seem to be same anyway.

I've seen quite a few youtube videos for a company called f1 dents, give them a go, seem to have really good reviews and they do PDR.

yep, that was the one, and he has a mini on the same channel that he shows, a few comments about his work on the ttforums saying he knows what he's doing etc. Give them a google 'f1 dents reviews' or something similar.
