Discovering damage to your vehicle's bodywork calls for swift action, as delaying can exacerbate the issue.

Furthermore, our company specializes in classic car restoration, ensuring that cherished vehicles receive the attention and care they deserve.
To find the best solution for your needs, you must consider the following:
- Stretching of the metal panel.
- The dent’s diameter and depth.
- How accessible the dent is.
- The type and location of the dent.
- Impact of any previous work.
- The age of your car’s paint.
- Your car’s make, model and colour.
- Paintwork and primer damage.
Traditional Dent Repairs
When dealing with significant impact or accident damage to your vehicle, our initial assessment focuses on determining if an economical repair is feasible. If repairing the damage isn't cost-effective, we may recommend replacing the entire panel. However, thanks to our extensive resources, experience, and skilled workforce, such cases are relatively rare.
In most instances, we opt to disassemble the affected panel, granting us access to the damage from the rear. Utilizing tools like flips and dollies, we expertly work to eliminate the majority of the dent.
Subsequently, we address any high spots by employing coarse metal files. If necessary, we may also utilize compatible body filler to create a smooth and level surface that can be refinished to restore the panel's integrity and appearance.
Paintless Dent Repairs
When dealing with shallow dents on private cars or fleet vehicles that haven't caused any paint damage, we employ a technique known as paintless dent repair (PDR). This method involves gently massaging and manipulating the dented panel from the inside. Through this process, our team in Aldershot can restore the panel to its original shape without any risk of cracking or damaging the manufacturer's paintwork. By opting for a PDR service, you can bypass the use of fillers and the need for respraying. This means there's no possibility of mismatched colors or runs in the paint. Paintless accident repairs result in flawless, permanent, and environmentally friendly finishes, leaving your vehicle looking as good as new.
