Can anyone recommend a good bodywork place?
I've got a dent on my bonnet and loads of door dinks. Thinking of getting the whole car respeayed. Been quoted £1300 from a local guy who I know is good.
I'm in NW London so if you can recommend I would be grateful.

if youve got a good guy, who'll respray your car for £1300 then look no further.

Thats very cheap, just how good will he do it for that money?

I would however get a paintless dent removal guy to remove all your door dents before respray - Bodyshops will most likely fill your dents with bodyfiller, as they dont all do PDR - some of them can get a guy in though before they start work.

Any idea who offers paintless dent removal? Can dents be removed from the bonnet for example?

Ross

p.s. I know I'm in glasgow, but one particular dent is catching my eye everytime I go to my car!!

I offer PDR - my guy that comes in is the best ive seen, and can fix almost all dents.

Bonnets can be fixed, but it depends where the dent is.

The PDR guy will decide on the day if any dents cannot be fixed, but the more experienced guys can do pretty much anything.

Roger, you've seen the dent on my bonnet. Doubt that can be fixed without a bodyshop. wink

I used Dent-rite in Basildon they came out to me in South London to knock out a large dent in my bonnet. I was very pleased with their service.

Planning to get them back to tackle both doors next.
