Good (cheap) panel beater in Melbourne?

docbeemer · 03-02-2010, 04:07 AM

Hi guys,
some knuckle head backed into the back of my car in a shopping centre leaving a big ding on my boot lid- but the funny thing is, there was NO paint damage at all.

Went to "Dent Maestro" but they said it was too complicated for them to bang out and needed a panel beater. It's on the top corner of the boot lid and not on a flat bit of panel.

I'll try to get some pics asap.

Anyone got any suggestions where to go? (I'm sure it's not worth paying the insurance excess)

Thanks

Just a suggestion here. Take it down to Charlie Battisti and show him (Speak to Noel) he may be able to remove the dent or if he doesn't repair dents then he surely knows someone who can and He will also be able to tell you if it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

I've used him many times for my own car and whilst he is on the expensive side (i assume), i always went through insurance so cost/pricing wasn't an issue

Good luck
