It was in an awkward spot about 2" below and 2" to the right of the door handle,about the size of a pea and hadnt broken the paint. I spent the following week at work calling around for quotes, which ranged from

Sounds excellent value. Somothing I would like to get to grips with better. Well done in finding this chap.

Thanks! After seeing the professional at work today, he explained it takes about a years training to get right up to the job and he services the local garages including a Ferrari/Maserati dealership and has done for the past 8 years.

I had a similar experience last summer with a chap on the south coast too - think it was Dent Wizard (rather than "Master").

Top job on some pretty nasty dings.

Years of damaging/having damaged cars, one picks up a lot.

If you ever watched a craftsman make a complex panel with a wooden mallet, you'll be amazed.

After this happened to me before getting on to the ferry for my jollies this year



I called my local Chips Away man. I also used him last year to get a dint out of drivers door. I left the car with him that time and couldn't believe after 20 mins it was sorted
