Have you got a dent or ding in your vehicle?
These dents & dings are commonplace on vehicle bodywork, particularly around areas such as door corners, and front & rear quarters.
Fortunately, a specialised technique called Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) or Paintless Dent Removal is a collection of techniques for removing these problems from your pride and joy! A wide range of automotive damage can be removed using this specialist paintless technique with the most common practical use for PDR being the repair of door dings, minor body creases, and minor bumper indentations. The techniques can also be applied to help prepare the damaged panel for a final paint repair if that’s the only solution but still saving you money on having to replace the actual body panel. These repairs are carried out using specialist tools that enable us to almost “massage” the dent out of a body panel without having to repaint it. At DJ Dents Away we are highly experienced and knowledgeable in PDR techniques and offer a service that is second to none in our field.

Meet DJ
My journey began under Sandy Thain's mentorship, where over a decade I refinined my craft as a spray painter, excelling in t-cutting & hand-polishing for flawless vehicle finishes. In 1990, I moved to Lawrence of Kemnay, where I worked closely with panel beaters in the accident repair shop. Here, I skillfully disassembled & reassembled entire vehicles, applying a wide range of skills, from installing body kits, fitting spoilers & sunroofs, to handling windshield installations, door lock repairs, decal & stripe applications, and seat cover installations. As a "Master Body Shop Technician," I later embraced Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) after training by Dent Magician. Over the years, I've tackled the most challenging PDR tasks, proudly holding the title of "Master PDR Technician." My commitment to quality drives me, ensuring perfection in every repair detail. Kemnay Autobody and Tilley Far Turriff trust my skills for their customers. Please note that I do not provide mobile services, as I believe in delivering 100% precision in my workshop.

Our Prices
Non Complex – Dings & Dents
From £150
In theory, repairing minor dents should be the simplest tasks, the most common occurrences are car door dings, shopping cart mishaps, and other minor impacts to your vehicle.
Complex Damage
From £250
Usually found along the contours of the vehicle's body, the damage tends to be deeper, sharper, and larger. This often requires a more extensive process of stress relief from the exterior of the panel before and during the implementation of a sequence of lifting techniques utilising various textured rods or levers applied from behind the damaged area.
Special Projects / Bodyshop
From £350
More significant damage may require the services of a professional body shop for repair. Addressing this kind of damage demands the utmost expertise, advanced tools, and a considerable amount of patience. We may need to examine the vehicle before providing a cost.
Derek fixed a dent in the side of my car door today. Very friendly service and very cheap. The workmanship and finished job was amazing. Would highly recommend Derek.

Derek repaired my wife's car due to a hit and run on her passenger wing arch. Went to collect it and I was delighted with the outcome! Highly recommend this man.

We put our Audi S1 in for repair after receiving quotes close to £2,000 elsewhere. Derek managed to fix the damage for a fraction of the cost, you'd never know how dented it was. Very friendly service and great workmanship.
