poohbear Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have just been to the petrol station, and have noticed a dent on my wheel arch my side at the back. :-( How can people be so inconsiderate?! It is small-ish but I can see it (only from the side) Anyway of getting them out? I'm so cross!!!!! If I did that to someones car I'd say so!!! grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyjaj Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 You would have to get it to a tinny to get it out. They have the special tools to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I feel your pain Poohbear, I have had people open there doors and dent my car twice now :( I would give dent devils a ring it will cost £75 but they come out to your house or work and push the dent back out. They do a really good job as well. If I had done it to someones car I would offer them the money to have it repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Bugger. Why should I pay £75 because some people are so incompetent.. I could reel off a number of different things I would call these inconsiderate people, but I would probably get banned from the club.

Bashful Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I try and park well away from everyone else, but you get back to the car and someone is right beside you. Some people are very inconsiderate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohbear Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Have contacted Dent Devils and just done Chipsaway, didn't realise they did dents too. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know what quotes I receive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Sorry to hear this Emily, it does make you feel sick that some people have no consideration, I park as far away as I can and I take up two spots on occasions naughty me!!!!! again shame you dont live near me as Max has a great dent man who he recommends to his customers, he is cheap and very good. Its best to get the dent sorted now or else you will leave it and leave it and then when you come to selling it on regret never having it done at the time xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNStuff Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think its a psychological thing. I did an experiment at work for a few weeks, parking my car at the farthest possible end of the car park away from anybody. Other people would park next to me, for no apparent reason. Must be some safety in number thing. 'If my alarm doesn't go off, maybe theirs will' type of thing. It is alwatys worth asking the petrol station for CCTV footage. You are entitled to it if a crimal act has been commited (hit & run) and it will safe you and claims bonuses and excess you are paying. It works too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flic Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 This is why it takes me an age to park my car anywhere, like Michelle I often park crap on purpose to take up 2 spaces! lol it's worked so far, but inevitably I'm bound to get dinged. It's annoying because I respect other peoples cars, why can't everyone else respect ours?! My father used to have these god awful rubber door guards on his old focus, for the soul pupose of stopping HIS door hitting others, pointless as his car got hit so often. He took them off after a while. No point in protecting people who just don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 I know, Michelle and Flic I am so annoyed! I even park by really nice cars as I think the owners will take good care of them but obviously not, I shall just park well away from everyone now :-( I rang the man from dent devils, he is on his way now (only phone him 1/2 hour ago) he is in the area and so has given me a quote of £50 dependent on what he sees when he arrives! (does he mean me or the car?!) lol. So I will let you know if he is successful later. Have tried to take photos but as its right by the wheel arch the light reflects on it and you can't see the dent!

poohbear Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 The dent has gone :-) Cost me £50. Man works for dent devils but also does private work so I have a receipt from him instead. Happy with that as he did the same job just dent devils would have taken a percentage! Very pleased with his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The dent has gone :-) Cost me £50. Good job pb. At least your wallet/purse wasn't "dented" by the sound of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohbear Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sadly no :'( I'm sure that method is 100% effective though :D lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sadly no :'( I'm sure that method is 100% effective though :D lol. I must have the only supermarket where dry ice isn't readily available. For shame... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
