Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Have very small dent on square edge of front wheel arch on 996 4sc, 2005. Porsche OPC quoted £700 for repair. [ ] Does anybody know of good repairers that are not OPC but are still approved by porsche warranty. If not do you know of any good repairers in london area, based in west london. thanks asif

Too big for Paintless Dent Removal? http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=230703

POST 3Original post

Porsche East London use the bodyshop of VW Abridge in Loughton. They eventually got my fault sorted after I refused the car twice - once for forgetting to repaint the bonnet, and secondly for forgetting to paint the bonnet..... You can't make this stuff up. I know this doesn't answer your question, but if you must use a body shop (as in if the dent master chap Richard mentioned can't do it) get an OPC with a good rep to sort it out as the results should be flawless and fully guaranteed. I recommend OPC Cambridge - fantastic service and they'll collect and deliver as well.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks Richard and Dapster will try Redaing dent removal first and then down the route of opc if necessary. thanks asif

POST 5Original post

Not sure about the front, but the edge of the rear arch is double skinned, so alledgedly can't be repaired by the dent removal guys.... However if you find a good one they will give it a shot. Luckily I did find a good one who whilst wrecking one of his tools did remove 95% of the dent [ ] garyw

POST 6Original post

Additonally Asif, if you look at the inside back page of Porsche Post, it lists all the approved Porsche repair shop.. So you could cut out the OPC anyhow...[ ] garyw

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
