The Best Way to Fix a Car Park Dent Near Whaley Bridge

Three ways to fix a car park dent

Not every dent needs a full respray. In fact, most car park dings can be repaired in a couple of hours with no paint at all. Here are the three routes, in order of price.

1. Paintless dent removal (PDR)

If the paint is unbroken and the dent is on a flexible part of the panel, we can push it back out from behind. No filler, no paint, no risk of colour mismatch. From £95, usually same day.

2. SMART repair

Small-to-Medium-Area-Repair-Technology. Ideal for a scuff plus a small dent where the paint has cracked. We fill, prime, colour-match and clear the affected area only. From £150, usually same day.

3. Full panel repair

If the dent has a sharp edge, has creased the metal or is on a bodyline, the panel needs beating out, filling and a full respray. From £395.

How to know which one you need

Send us a photo. We will tell you the option that gives you the best finish for the least money. Ninety percent of car park dents we see across Whaley Bridge, Chapel, New Mills and Buxton go the PDR route.

Will my insurance cover it?

If the damage is above your excess, yes. If it is below, always pay privately — a claim will push your renewal up more than the repair itself.
