Paintless dent removal...

**Cupra** · 08-04-2009, 11:30 AM

Hi all,

On boxing day I unfortunately had one of those large coles shopping trolleys hit the front LH guard handles first on my TDI. The result was a pair of knuckle size dents on the top curved surface of the guard, no scratches or chips in the paint, & i must admit it was my fault, not happy

.

Anyway, the local smash repairer said they might be able to do a paintless repair. As the company I work for were covering the cost I decided to go ahead.

Unfortunately I didn't take any b4 photos but the repair is perfect. I thought that they may be able to make it look right but that i'd always be able to see some sort of telltale imperfection but I can't

So. paintless dent removal....perfect job

....half the cost of a full repair

... & my company paid

cheers

Phil

What did he charge? phil i know your insurance paid but what did he charge. Ive got an asian guy that does $50 cash per dent, most places charge $80. Ive watched him do it and its not easy .

The contractor they used charged $220, that was for a pair of double dents on the guard & a sharp single dent close up under the mirror, 5 in total. That price included pulling the door off the car to gain access etc.

I was quoted just on $500 for a full repair including paint.

The guys name was Wally, & his main concern was the paint cracking as the dents were so deep.

i had a whole heap of dents removed, with one being quite a tricky one as the metal had stretched a little...

i too was concerned about the paint cracking, but the guys i used took their time and it came up a treat...

only problem now is that im so paranoid about parking everywhere as i dont want to get any more dents from air head people mover driving mothers with a car full of kids who swing doors open...

if anyone in SA wants the details of the guys i used, shoot me a PM, highly reccomended...

Can anyone recommend someone who does paintless dent removal in Melbourne inner East or Hawthorn area? Supermarket got my wheel arch. Bugger. Two very small dings 4cm long x a couple mm deep. Paint is still fine.

There's a guy in Wattlegrove called Chris Hunt and the company name is Dent tech.

I used him to remove some hail damage out of my Lexus after the uber hailstorm in Sydney Dec07.

He did an excellent job!

Unfortunately,I don't have his contact details anymore.

Mate I work at BMW Parramatta and we contract a bloke called Matt from DentLogic. I see him do work on several cars a day and I can never tell there'd been a dent in a panel he's touched. He offered $65 a dent to me I think, I'll get his contact details for you.
