Default Small dent removal. Anyone know of anyone?

My Volvo 940 has quite a few minute dents that have been picked up in car parks, some of them can only be seen at certain angles and are hardly detectable when you touch them.

Seeing as im hoping to keep the car a while I want to keep on top of the niggly little things that blight car ownership, dints and dents being one. Does anyone know of a good dent removal company? I realise to have the entire car "undented" will cost quite a bit but it will be cheaper than buying a newer car!

don't bother.

As soon as you get it sorted, some tosser will dent it again for you.

I have been sitting in the back of the Caravelle (tinted windows) feedig the tribe, when people have opened their cars against it, I get out and have a go at them and they usually deny it. I just give them some verbal comments to think about before they drive off.

Im originally from Brum so travel down regularly to see freinds and family, getting down to have some dents un-dented shouldnt be a problem. It would probably have to be a weekend though.

Yes, I know some git will simply put another dent in my beloved motor but I guess its almost a fact of life nowadays. People have zero respect for other peoples property. Having the existing dents removed would simply be a case of "keeping on top of it". If I dont the car will soon have so many little dints that ill lose heart in it and sell it.

We try our best to avoid dents by parking right at the end of a row of spaces, or over the other side of the car park, even over two spaces sometimes to stop people parking next to it and opening their doors into it. Its so infuriating to see all these little dents and know that not one was caused by me or the wife!

I once caught a woman who had opened her fiesta door straight into the side of the Volvo causing a dent. When I tried to speak to her about it she completely blanked me and drove off.
