Dent & Paint Chip advice?

[CardinalFang]

Afternoon all,

Sorry, I know we've all got better things to do, late on a Friday afternoon, but I wonder if anyone could recommend a mobile Dent & Paint chip repairer? I've no preference over a national chain, or local business, but If it helps, I'm in Northamptonshire, (Wellingborough/Kettering).

Details - Mrs Fang's car is being swapped & there's a penny sized dent & chip on the bonnet, which I'd rather get sorted before it's picked up, than have VW/BCA do it & induce a heart attack.

Any advice gratefully received - have a good weekend.
Thanks!

Whizz it into these guys. Very good. Would expect them to do a bonnet in one day.

I’m in Northampton. I’ve got a PDR guy coming to me tomorrow to hopefully massage a bigger than average parking ding of a Fiesta. I’ll let you know how we get on.

Thanks jimbo893 - would be interested to hear back. As usual my timing is impeccable - more than a dozen cars in our village were keyed on Saturday night, (including my nephew's 1 month old first new car & my BiL's RangeRover) so our local guy is booked up for the next few days...!

Yep, reported, so there's a crime number for insurers. One business has supplied cctv footage, which is now up on Facebook (& passed to the local police). Other businesses are being approached, so we'll see what happens. Very unpleasant.

In my experience VWFS or BCA will charge you far less for that sort of damage than you'll pay privately to sort, so I'd just leave it.

Appreciate the comment, but I'll take the risk on the basis that the VW salesman advised us not to use VW/BCA because they would be more expensive than a local bodyshop/Chipsaway-type job. Don't think he'd have a personal or corporate interest saying that. I'll let you know what the cost is - happy to be proved wrong, but thanks for your contribution anyway.

Update: job done by RVR, as suggested by stewies_minion above. Not cheap, but immaculate & very quick. As well as the bonnet dent & some scratches on the front valance/radiator panel, they gave the whole body a thorough clean, polish & wax, removing some glue remnants from a pair of door protectors that fell off a year ago. It looks brand new. Had the car inspected yesterday by BCA (it goes back tomorrow) & they passed it as fault free. V pleased - thanks for the recommendations all. CF
