DIY Dent repair people - recommendations please

Hi all

Still feeling very sorry for myself (see http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=27041 ). I was wondering if any of you have used any of these dent wizard type people, and if so, would you recommend any specific one? Minor dents on bonnet and roof, but apparently the roof ones could be harder to 'bash out' (said the MINI guy I just spoke to). "It could be a really big job" were his words!

I am in the London and Kent area, but prepared to travel!

Any help much appreciated - thanks in advance!

PS Moderators - sorry if this should be in 'faults and fixes' or somewhere else, but I am being really selfish as I want (need!?!) lots of coverage in the vain attempt at not having to fork out an absolute fortune. Feel free to move it if I am breaking every rule in the book... and sorry!

I believe Dent master are pretty good, I'll have a word with a friend of mine tonight. His Golf had 80 dents removed (freak weather conditions!?!) without the need for painting.

Thnaks Ginger - all help gratefully received.

I have heard about dent master but can't find their details anywhere on the net.

Anyone else?

I used dent magician out of Brighton but I believe they cover all the sussex & kent area (if not they will be able to put you in touch with somebody. For a very reasonable £60 they came to work and removed the dent that some muppet had put in my car and several i didn't even notice. Only there for 10mins all in all very impressed. The are on 01273 493299 or www.dentmagician.co.uk

Just seen your thing about the roof, mine were in the doors which is easier but I have seen a tool used which is a bit like a bath plunger which sucks the dents back out. Hope this helps you get it back to its former glory!!

Thanks Dory - I am already off to Dent Magician tomorrow afternoon for a quote! I just called them and the chap said to pop in - nothing to lose really!

Dent Wizard did not accept the job but Dent Buster did the job & it's a success. I do not know if you have dent Buster in your country.
