Problem help needed - also need body shop recommendation in Leicester

Hi there guys, unfortunately a friend has ever so slightly scraped my rear bumper ( near side edge ) whilst parallel parking.

I have polished all the scratches out BUT one which has been touched up


My main question .... I have a ripple / dent which can only be seen in the reflection when light hits it ... I want to get it repaired as it's annoying me very badly ... But I know all well Sytner Leicester will ask for £350 ... For a dent !?! That's too much

Anyone recommend a well known / trusty garage I can get it sprayed an sorted out ? Without it looking like an amateur job ?


The scratch it self is around 1 - 2 cm long but it's the dent I'm
More piss*d of about ...


I live in Leicester so will like to be pretty local for a repair

My mate used Weavers garage off Welford when he needed some work doing on the M3. Very good quality repair, and cheap.

I have used http://www.atherstonearc.co.uk They did a great job of sorting my impreza after a bus drove into the side of it. My dad has used them as well as my sister each time

They are only a short trip away from Leicester.

Cheers lads I think I'll get on the phone tomorrow

To be honest the scratch is pretty minor ... What I'm more worried about is popping out the damn dent !!!

Iv taken a rough photo it's in dark so there's not a lot of reflection... You guys think it's worth going through the hassle ?

It's touched up so doesn't look like Asian thumb but when the light hits it it's so annoying you can see a ripple in the reflection


Been told I could pop it out with a hair dryer????

Id turn a blind eye to it personally as i kinda accept that a car cant stay perfect...be it stone chips or the odd scratch but everyone is different. If it bothers you then get it sorted. Its all about what u personally can or cant live with at the end of the day!

Garage List
Kassim contact Mr Mitsy Pancholi in 0116 246 4644 his garage is behind the Marshal Vauxhall in Troon way and he is the cousin of Sumil here. I have been recommended there by Sumil and has done an excellent job in getting the car back. They can provide a courtesy car as well.
