Default Dents?

Who is everyone using for paintless dent removal these days. I have a few car park dents that could do with sorting.

Mines the same or worse ,, scoobs are renowned for having thin easily dentable panels - i bought 4 doors for mine but they all picked up small dings on the 5 hour journey home in the back of my mates van ,, im considering doing a pdr course tbh as its a business i think has a good future despite citroen bringing out the first dent resistant car recently

My mate uses James at dent magician at shoreham ,,, he does excellent work

They are prone to it, especially in black lol. I had my hawk done 3 or 4 times while I owned it, infact it became a bit of a joke on here for a while.

Lee from Dentz said he's done quite a few scoobs in the past and they can be more difficult as the are so soft

I've got a few stone chips in my bonnet. I'm not sure whether to get my whole bonnet re sprayed or just repaired.

Does anyone have someone they'd recommend?

The guy's at dentz are A1 and the same guys have been on the team for years.
Not like your usual franchises.
Shame I cant get over.
Perhaps you can float the idea of another dent day if a suitable location can be found.

Had Lee form Dentz over yesterday and he successfully removed all of them from the doors and bonnet. He did a cracking job and the car now looks nice and straight (as straight as black Subaru doors can look!). Would definitely recommend them.

Scott - I mentioned to him about the possibility of a dents day and he would be up for that, apparently has done a few with other car clubs.
