Dent In Door

[Parthiban]

not sure if anyone remembers but a while back my passenger door got blown on to the next car and bent in the edge of the door

been really busy but finally called dentwizard today (as recommended by Lexus Edgware Road)

anyway, he says job will cost £85+VAT. is this reasonable? i do not have a clue about this stuff so didn't know what to expect.

he says though that if he finishes the job in half an hour, he'll reduce the rate to £50+VAT.

what do you guys think? has anyone had this sort of dent repair done?

i'll try and get a photo on to show the extent of the damage

Sounds reasonable to me.........

When I had a price from them (well another one of them) he did mention that if I didn't want a receipt (i i ) then £50, so 85 sounds about right.

My price for for a minute dent on the rear wing. Thought it was a bit steep to be honest so have left it for now.

Someone had their child bang their door open into the midline crease on mine, and I had it removed by one of the 'paintless dent removal' firms. The guy stuck a hardened aluminium rod in through the wiring loom hole in the door and worked the dent out beautifully. Cost $90 for half an hour's work, but it was better than $400 for bog and paint!!

On the last IS200 I owned a woman opened her drivers door into my front passenger door. She did £600 worth of damage. Her insurance paid out, and it was fixed at a Lexus main dealer.

She did £600 worth of damage.

Big women was she ?

[Parthiban]

ok, i'll probably just go ahead with them then, can't be bothered to ring around and as lexus use them i assume they must do a good job.

did you say £600 of damage from opening a door onto your car?

she must have been more than just big! what was she doing anyway that required that much force?

maybe she saw an ice-cream truck gettin away!!

[javaboss]

Nah, she wasn't big, but she was bloody nasty! She said that the massive dent was 'aready there'.

She opened the door and the wind caught it and slammed it very hard into my door. I was surprised by how much damage she managed to do!
