Repairing small dents on a car [shop needed in Dublin]

    My car has 3 smallish dents that I would really like to get repaired. Is it possible to do such a thing yourself or would I have to take it to a body shop? Sorry, probably a difficult question to ask without showing you a picture.

    I'd have to see the dent, but I repaired dents on my car before with a pop's a dent, it worked pretty well, you can still see where the dent was, but only if you know where to look,

    Those dents would be best fixed by a bodyshop

    No simple fix when there's a crease or it's across a lip, both the case here as far as I can see, sorry.

    I thought that. I know this is the DIY forum but can anyone recommend a body shop in Dublin (6/8/12/14/16/24 etc :)) are repairs like this expensive? (I ask nervously!)

    I know a chap that does this kinda thing. He's in Drogheda though. He did a bit of spraying for me before and will be fixing my car bumper in the coming days, but ive not actually had him do any bodywork just yet. However, from what i believe, he's quite good, and very reasonable (his selling point, really).

    If you want to PM me i'll bang on his Contact info to you. Like i say, he's in Drogheda though (about an hour away from dublin, as he;s the far side, but worth getting a price id say).

    Since you're not doing it DIY, moved to main Motors.

    Thanks KKV, with small kids Drogheda unfortunately isn't an option. It would have to be somewhere in Dublin. thanks though.
