Woke up this morning to a rather nasty sight - looks like someone jumped on the roof of my civic



(the big dent popped out with a light push on the rooflining, but there are a few smaller ones left)

I've gone to a Honda bodyshop and they want to cut out the roof and replace it totally - seems a bit extreme!

I was wondering if anyone can recommend any particular dent removal company - worst case, the roof is going to be cut out anyway, and I'd prefer not to have to claim on my insurance so it sounds worth a try.

Thanks!

Hugo

Dent Wizard are coming round on Tuesday. I'll let everyone know how they get on.

Fingers most definitely crossed - I went to the local Honda garage and their solution is to *CUT THE ENTIRE ROOF PANEL OUT, FIT A NEW ONE, AND RESPRAY IT*. Whoah, there's a slight case of overbombing, to steal a Sisters of Mercy title.

Unsuprisingly, their quote for making a mountain out of a molehill is ~£1,700. I don't particularly want to claim if I can help it as I've got insurance on 3 cars to consider

I guess I'll see how DW do, and if they screw it up - well, no loss as Honda want to put a whole new roof in. *sigh*.

Couldn't see foot *or* pawprints on the dust on the car. It's either a freak vanishing meteorite or aliens.
