Should I repair a dent myself?

The decision to repair a dent yourself depends on a combination of things:

  • Extent of damage – small dings should be easy enough to fix yourself but more extensive damage will probably need the help of an expert.

  • Budget – rates for bodywork specialists greatly vary, in fact, you could pay between well oer £100 an hour for their help.

  • Confidence – even the simplest repair job can seem out of the question if you’re not comfortable making repairs yourself, in which case you should arrange for professional help.

  • STARTER MOTOR

  • Time – sourcing all the tools and materials can take a while, especially if you shop around for the best deal. That’s before you’ve even started to master the techniques for a high-quality repair job.
