When the paint can be retained
If the paint is intact, we check an approach without repainting. The dent shape, material and access matter. Sharp creases, stretched areas or previous damage can limit the method. Access behind the panel also matters for some techniques. The extent to which the shape can be restored needs professional assessment.
When the paint is damaged too
Deformation with cracked paint or exposed substrate needs different planning. Shape and surface must be considered together. Depending on the damage, panel repair, preparation and refinishing may belong in the same job. A damaged door edge differs from a soft dent on an open surface. Photos can show the difference, but cannot replace every inspection at the vehicle.
What affects the price?
The number of areas, their depth and position, the material and access all matter. Required parts removal, previous repairs and additional paintwork can change the scope. Tell us your preferred timing and whether affected doors, lids or other parts operate normally. Functional problems need attention beyond the visible dent.
Frequently asked questions
Which photos help with a dent?
An overview of the panel and views from slightly different angles, with a straight line from the surroundings reflected in the surface. This can make deformation easier to see. Do not attach anything or use tools on the car to take the photos.
Is dent repair without painting always possible?
No. Condition, shape and position set limits. We agree the suitable method after inspection.
Can I show a dent and scratch in the same enquiry?
Yes. Show both areas and their position in relation to one another. This helps us understand the overall scope.
