Door dings, trolley dents and dent removal options
Door dings are the everyday annoyance of anyone who parks in busy places. In Baddeley Green, as elsewhere, it takes only one careless neighbour or a loose trolley to leave a shallow dent in the side of a car, often in a spot where it catches the light every time you walk up to it.
DB Autos looks at dents at our Salem Street garage with a view to the least invasive fix that gives a good result. We tell you whether paintless repair might work, or whether reshaping, filling and refinishing is better, and nothing proceeds until you agree. If it helps, we will send pictures of what we did.
Whether a dent can come out without repainting depends on the paint, the position and access behind the panel. Shallow, smooth dents on open panels are the best candidates for paintless repair, while sharp creases, cracked paint or reinforced areas usually need a fuller process. We would rather give you an honest assessment than promise something that will not work. Smaller dents that stay unattended can also attract chipped paint and corrosion. The run from Baddeley Green to us is about 5 miles.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

It depends. If the paint is unbroken and the area is accessible, it may. We look at your dent in person and tell you whether it suits that method or needs another approach. We will not guess. Each dent is judged on its own merits.
Then reshaping and refinishing is usually needed, because exposed metal must be protected. We explain what the process involves and what it will look like at the end. That is better for long-term protection of the panel.
Often they can, but chipped paint should be dealt with sooner to avoid rust. We tell you plainly whether your dent is safe to leave or better handled now. Leaving it is your choice. We simply give you the facts.
