We'll perform a test just to check - don't get your side panels fixed for a few years and go to as many salty Jock meets as possible - if your car ends up looking like its been pulled from the sea bed then we know the panels are steel

I have had these dent deletion franchisee merchants remove dents on two different cars over the last 5 years.
They seem to have the information as to how most car panels are made and assembled, and thus for panels that are seemingly inaccessible know where to drill holes trough which to insert their tools.
For instance on my old MX-5 the operative drilled a hole in the door slam panel to get at a dent on the rear lower wing. The hole was neatly drilled, & when the work was completed a rubber bung inserted. Painted body colour it was amsot invisble.

I left a message via email (no reply), then rang the guy direct and left a message on his phone (no reply), then rang the national number and was told a technician would call me (he didn't), then rang a few days later again (today) and was told they were sorry and technician would call asap (and of course, absolutely nothing!)

If anyone can recommend someone in the South Cheshire area, let me know - I could be waiting forever for Dent Devils (in fact I have been!), so until I hear back from them ... choose someone else!
I'd recommend Dentman in St Helen's if it is not too far for you.
Normal only works for garages in the week, but does personal cars on Saturdays.
Did a superb job on three dents on mine for

This one interests me because I have just had three or four dings done on one side and when he came to the one on the rear wing he was going to drill in the B-pillar area to get to it. At which point I decided it didn't show enough to warrant this.

I thought he would have to drill my B- Pillar but as I said I missed how he did it but no drilling done.

Thanks.

In that case when the next rash appears I'll try someone different and see if they can get into the rear wing.

It still royally p1sses me off that I can't leave the car anywhere without this happening.
