Small Dent Repair in Perth: Fixing Car Door Dents Without Paint

Most small dents, including car door dings and trolley marks up to about 2cm, can come out without paint as long as the paint over them is unbroken. Small dents are the most common repair at Impact Dents in Perth, about 85% of jobs, and Mark comes to your home or workplace to do them.

What Counts as a Small Dent?

• Size: golf ball sized or smaller, up to about 2cm across.
• Common causes: shopping trolleys, car doors and minor knocks.
• Where they turn up: doors, quarter panels and other panels that sit next to another car in a car park.

A dent of 2 to 5cm is a medium dent, and anything larger than 5cm or with a complex crease is a large one. The dent repair cost guide for Perth sets out all three.

Can a Dent in a Car Door Be Fixed Without Paint?

Usually, yes. The dent can come out without paint when three things are true:

• The paint is unbroken over the dent.
• There is no sharp crease in it.
• The metal has not been stretched.

To check, look at the dent at an angle in natural light and run a fingertip gently across it. You are looking for any cracking or chipping in the paint.

If the paint is cracked or chipped: the dent itself can often still come out, but paint repair may be needed afterwards.

If the dent sits on a body line: read whether a crease dent can be repaired.

Mark will tell you which one you are looking at from your photos, before any work is booked.

How Small Dent Repair Works

1. Take photos: one from about a metre back so the dent's position on the panel is clear, and one close-up on an angle.
2. Send them through the quote form with your make, model and suburb.
3. Mark calls or emails you with his assessment, the price and a time that suits.
4. The dent is repaired where the car is, at your home, work or another agreed spot.

Mark works the dent out from behind the panel, so nothing is filled, sanded or resprayed and your factory paint stays original.

Done at Your Home or Workplace

Impact Dents is fully mobile, anywhere from Butler in the north to Mandurah in the south and inland to Mundaring. If you can, wash the car first so the dent is easy to see, and park where there is room to get around the panel and good light.

How Small Dents Are Priced

• Small dent up to 2cm: removed from $250.
• Several dents: quoted as one job.

The final price is confirmed from your photos before any work starts. The full breakdown is in the dent repair cost guide.
