Randam things falling from sky! Bugg*r!!!





Not a "happy bunny"! This afternoon I noticed a fairly big dent (when looking in the certain light) on the roof above my passenger door!

Anyone now if this is possible to get out? Its not a small dent but quite big.

All replies and advice appreicated.
 


Did your car get "run over"? Happened to my parents Pug years ago when a group of neds/chavs decided to do a obstacle course involving a line of cars...

Might be worth a shot of one of those sucker things that you use to pull dents out. Id image a roof panel would be one of the easiest to use one of them on.
 


dents in roofs can be expensive especially if you have to take the roof lining out to repair it.

get a few quotes before commiting
 


Its not a major thing but its more annoying than anything! I like my motor to look spot on.... :(

Anyone used Dent Masters?
 


dent masters is a franchise so i would ask mates and family who live local if they have used the local guy as dentmasters dont gurantee the quality of the work

same kind of thing happened to my Williams *grumble* some prats had walked right across my roof :mad: I had a number of dents in the roof, and paid almost £200 for repairs
 


no it really depends on the car and its construction. access can be a problem e.g a down near the front edge of a door. where something is double skinned e.g a rear wheel arch on a mini (in fact almost all of a mini is unsuitable for a dent repair)

roofs are problematic as invairiably (sp) the roof liner needs to come out and this is not usually pratical unless in a body shop environment
 


Does this sound reasonable?


Thank you for your enquiry.

We would need to see your vehicle in order to give you a firm quote but
I have
given indications of cost below:

Regarding the dent in your roof, providing the paint is not damaged
and it is possible to gain access behind the dent (under the head
lining) it
may be possible to carry out a Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). Cost would
be in
the region of £125.00 + VAT. Repair would need to be carried out at our
Woking
workshop on a Friday by appointment.

If you wish to discuss any aspect further please give me a call on
01483

did you laugh at em? whos that?

dent services cost 40-50 quid, depending on the size of the dent, where it is, whats gotta be stripped, how awkward it is to get to and the ammount of time it takes. the roof linin doesnt need dropping out, you drop the rubber seal off the tailgate and drop a long service bar underneath the liner. IF the dent is above a roof strengthener (bar which runs accross the roof), then the liner will need to be dropped, the support drilled so the bar can go in. 9/10 if they cant get to it without droppin the liner or if a supports in the way they wont wanna touch it.

Paid 40 quid plus vat to get some dents out of my roof on my old car by dentsplus. As stated aboue the go under the rooflining.

One guy round here is now using a new technique with hot glue so even double skinned panels can be done.
 


Does this sound reasonable? Could not get picture of the small dent in the roof due to the light, but they seem quite confident they can fix.

Would appriciate some feedback on the following though.

Thanks for the photograph.

Although the paintwork is metallic, we should be able to help you with that.
The bumper scratch would be around £65 +vat and the roof dent from £60 +vat.
On top of this there is a £20 callout charge we take through the office using Credit/Debit cards.

If you would like our technicians to carry out the repairs for you, then please provide us with a contact telephone number so we can arrange an appointment.

Thank you.

that scuff on the bumper ide take to a small garage and just say you want it blown in, its a half hour job, 30/40 quid tops.

Dent in the roof, try take a picture with the flash on but use something as a reflection, hold an open book over the dent, then take the picture. the uneven writin will show how bad the dent is and where it is
