Just washed the Z, found a dent above a wheel arch, unhappy.

SO the second guy says yes he can remove it. £80 and it will be perfect or no charge.

..seems quite a lot for such a minor imperfection.. going to have to sit and stew on this a bit.
 
Given the cost, I wonder if its worth trying this bit of kit on such a small dent?

You're not paying for the size of the dent or the amount of time it takes to remove it - you're paying for the skill of the person doing the job.

He's guaranteed you that it'll be perfect... you could try it yourself with the same tools he uses but would you get the same end result.... would you really be satisfied with it 90% corrected or has it got to be perfect?



One day in a large factory with a long assembly line a critical piece of equipment suddenly stopped working. This one machine brought the factory’s
entire assembly line to a complete halt and partially finished products were backed up all through the factory. The company that owned the factory
was in a complete panic as they were losing tens of thousands of dollars for every hour that the factory was shut down.

The workers were nervous, as they didn’t know what to do or say to bring this machine back to life. No amount of fiddling by the operators or floor
engineers could get the machine fired up. No one on the factory floor knew how to get this critical component back online.

The managers and executives were in a frenzy and didn’t know what to do either. They knew there had to be a way to get this resolved and online or they
would lose an enormous amount of money. The chief mechanic was called in and he insisted that there was only one expert who he knew could correct the
problem quickly.

Needless to say, the expert was called in. When he arrived, he examined the machine from this angle and that angle, skillfully moving all around for about
ten minutes. He then went and removed a hammer from his toolbox, walked up to the machine and inspected one specific spot before he struck the machine a single
sharp blow with the hammer. Suddenly the machine came back to life and started running at full capacity. Goods started moving smoothly down the assembly line
and the factory was back online. The workers sighed a sigh of relief. The corporate executives rejoiced.

The expert then presented the chief mechanic with a bill for $10,000.
“This is outrageous!” the chief mechanic exclaimed “10,000 dollars to hit a machine with a hammer?
You spent ten minutes here just to hit it with a hammer!!!! I’ll require an itemized bill for this!”

The expert pulled out an invoice sheet, wrote a few things down and then presented the chief mechanic with the following itemized invoice:

• Hitting machine with hammer $1.00

• Knowing where to hit the machine $9,999.00
 
These dent guys are like magicians. My GF's Dad picked up a really nasty ding on the swage line of his Astra. 100% perfect again within 15 mins.

Just ordered one of these to have a go at two small 'car park' dents on my Alfa. Worth a try at just £10.

Thanks for the link Maniac, even more grateful if it works. :thumbsup:
