Door dings, creases, hail damage and pushed-in panels, repaired at our Greenwich body shop. Where the paint is undamaged we use paintless dent removal to keep your factory finish. Where it isn’t, we repair the dent and refinish the panel to match.
Dents show up best in photos taken at an angle, with a reflection running across the panel. Send one close up and one from further back and we’ll call you with a quote.

Most dents on a car are small: a door ding in a supermarket car park, a dent from a stray trolley, a crease where something brushed along the side. They rarely affect how the car drives, but they’re hard to ignore and they lower its value. Good car dent repair should leave the panel straight, with no ripple in the reflection.
Where the paint hasn’t cracked, we use paintless dent removal (PDR). The dent is worked out slowly from behind the panel with specialist tools, so there’s no filler, no new paint and no colour to match. Where the paint is damaged or the metal is too stretched, we use conventional dent repair, then paint the panel to your car’s paint code.
Usually suitable when:
Needed when:
Bring the car to our Greenwich body shop for a free look, or send photos first.
Small dents from another car’s door, often with the paint untouched.
Many small, shallow dents across the roof, bonnet and boot lid.
Longer dents along a door or wing where something has dragged across the panel.
Dents from a knock, a ball or a falling branch on the front panels.
Pushed-in plastic bumpers after a low-speed bump or a parking post.
Dents where the paint has cracked, which need repair and repainting.
We study the dent under a reflection board to see its exact shape and check the paint for cracks.
We get behind the panel, through trim, lights or access holes, so the dent can be worked from the inside.
The metal is pushed back gradually and any high spots are tapped down until the panel is level.
We check the reflection is straight. If the paint was damaged, the panel is filled, painted and blended.
Car dent repair costs depend on the dent itself. Paintless dent repair is usually the cheaper option because there is no paint, filler or drying time. Send photos and we’ll give you a dent repair quote, confirmed in writing after a free inspection.
A coin-sized ding is quicker than a large, deep dent or a long crease.
Dents near edges, body lines or double-skinned areas take more work.
Cracked paint means filling and painting as well as removing the dent.
Hail damage across several panels is priced panel by panel.

Straight answers about dent repair costs, paintless dent removal and hail damage.
It depends on the size and depth of the dent, where it is on the panel and whether the paint is damaged. A small door ding repaired with paintless dent removal usually costs much less than a dent that needs filling and painting. Send photos through our quote form for a dent repair quote, confirmed in writing after a free inspection.
Paintless dent removal (PDR) is a way of pushing a dent back out from behind the panel with specialist tools, without filler or new paint. Because the factory paint stays in place, there is no colour to match and the repair is usually quicker and cheaper than a conventional dent repair.
Often, yes. If the paint is not cracked or chipped and the metal is not stretched or creased too sharply, the dent can usually be removed with paintless dent removal. If the paint is damaged, we repair the dent and then refinish the panel to match.
PDR is not suitable when the paint is cracked or chipped, when the dent sits on a sharp edge or body line, when the metal is badly stretched, or when we can’t reach the back of the panel. In those cases we use conventional dent repair with filler and paint.
A single small dent can often be done much faster than a painted repair because there is no filling, painting or drying. Larger dents, creases and multiple dents take longer. We give you a time estimate with your quote.
On original factory paint, PDR keeps the paint intact. Paint that has been resprayed before, or is old and brittle, can crack under pressure, so we check the paint first and tell you if a painted repair is the safer option.
Yes. Hail usually leaves many small, shallow dents across the bonnet, roof and boot, which are often well suited to paintless dent removal. We assess every panel and give you a quote, which you can also send to your insurer.
Many dents in plastic bumpers can be pushed back into shape. If the bumper is cracked or the paint has split, we repair and refinish it, or recommend a replacement and explain why.
Yes. Where a dent also has a scratch through the paint, we repair the dent first, then fill and paint the area to your car’s paint code so the panel looks right.
