Are dents easy to remove from panel vans or should one just live with it .

Couldn't resist lol
I've had a few removed, I'd leave it to the professionals though, amazing what they can remove

A good dent remover is an amazing thing to watch.
I had a couple in the door of my Golf and I persueded a remover who only works for dealerships to take it out, you`d never know it was there.

As for `is it worth it`....is it likely to happen again?
If yes, dont bother, if no, yeah, it`ll annoy you all the time if you dont.

Trouble is, if you leave it, it's the start of the end! It seems if you don't sort these things, more seem to follow shortly after. And if it's your own work vehicle, what are you telling your customers? Personally, I think it looks a bit shoddy when business owners turn up in a poor looking vehicle (as in, dented, scruffy, etc), its all about the professional image.

Where in the country are you? There are a few paintless dent repair guys on here who might be able to offer you a very good value repair.

Well not far from you is a guy called Ollie Welton of Prestige Dent Solutions. His number is 07989 481484, give him a bell and tell him Paul from Shine On Detailing sent you his way, I'm sure he'd look after you.
