    Hi all need some advice please,
    About to get in the car today and wash it and couldn't help notice a small dent (no scratch) in the roof the size of a match head, I was spewing. Only had the car for 11 bloody weeks 880 kilometres on the clock, only used on weekends, never taken to car parks etc.

    Any way tried to take a pic but I couldn't get it.

    Any recommended paint-less repairers near Parramatta anyone can suggest.

    Thanks people.

    Best PDR I've seen is The Dent Man in Castle Hill. I think he also does mobile work, but unsure.

    Welcome To The Dent Man

    edit.. after a quick read of the website... he does mobile work as well.

    G'day TinSnips, first off thanks for your response, appreciated.

    I rang Dent Perfection. Shane is always at the workshop with 3 other guys on the road. I saw Shane and gave me a quote. Took the SSV in 2 days later and job done. It was perfect, I couldn't tell where the dent was when he'd finished.

    Thoroughly recommend Shane at Dent Perfection!

    Once again thanks TinSnips!!

    Dent in the middle of the pic. You can see a curve in the reflection of the rope where the leaf is.

    Most of the cost was having to drop half the roof lining and put back.

    With half the roof lining down took the opportunity to run a power cable from behind the mirror down to the fuses.

    Fitting one of these.

    Steve,

    I'm glad you're happy with the results, but I think you went to a different place than what Tinsnips recommended.

    The Dent Man at Castle Hill have done a lot of work on a lot of cars in my car club including mine and hail damage repair on mine also.

    Yours looks like easy work as far as size is concerned, The job they did on my brothers car where the dent wrapped a support beam in the door was totally undetectable. He is going back soon after a close encounter with a roo a few weeks ago that only ended up with a light crease in his passenger door.

    But again, glad you got a good job done, I just ewnated to highlight the Dent Man as he is worth promoting
