A few weeks back Nat accidentally slammed my FJ’s door onto a little pole while opening the door and I ended up with a nasty dent. The usual fix for this would be to take the car to a body shop and have them repair the dent and then repaint the door but I decided to pass by Dent Xpress and see if they could fix it. For those of you who’ve been checking my blog for a few years you might remember Dent Xpress as one of my previous advertisers. They’re a little shop behind Sun City in Shuwaikh that specializes in paint-less dent repair.
I had finished some morning chores that day and decided to pass by Dent Xpress to get an estimate and book an appointment. Once I drove up to their front entrance their employee was standing outside and noticed the dent as I pulled up. After getting a closer look he told me the dent was pretty deep and since my car was black he couldn’t repair it 100%, I told him anything would be better than the current state. I asked him how much it would cost and he told me just KD15 and it would take 30 minutes to repair. Luckily there wasn’t anyone there before me so I told him to go ahead and start on it.
I went and sat down in their cozy little corner and watched the guy work on my dent. It’s really interesting to watch so you don’t get that bored waiting. If you’ve got an iPad with entertainment on it I would bring it along or you could be old fashioned and flip through some magazines they had available. After exactly 30 minutes my FJ’s dent was repaired. Even though the guy said he couldn’t repair it 100% it looked like it was 100% fixed. He told me if I looked closely I could see a tiny little bump. That bump which you couuld only see under a certain light and up really close was basically non existent so it’s a 99% fix even though you really can’t see the tiny bump. I left extremely satisfied which is why I’m currently writing this post. So if you’ve got a dent and need it repaired Dent Xpress would be a good place to stop by before a body shop. They can’t repair all dents and the paint also needs to be factory original but it’s still worth passing by and seeing if they can repair it. Below is a picture of my FJ door before and after the repair.

Facebook link is missing the “t” in dent. Nice review 🙂
One advise from me to you Mark, keep Nat away from your VEHICLES =)
thanks just fixed the link
They’re amazing!! Your car is literally in safe hands when in Dent Xpress!
Great work, what time did you go when it was not busy?
Honestly I can’t really figure which is before and which is after. Either the pics aren’t good, or the guy was totally right. Seems like 100% or 99% clean? Don’t think so.
very useful post…yo Mark, do they fix windshields too?? i have a nasty scratch on my windshield and replacing it at the dealership would cost me 300 kd (with discount exlcusive of labour cost)!
Can they fix aluminium panels? My car doors and trunk are made from aluminium and painted in Dresden, I don’t want to repaint the special paint to fix the dents 🙁
Mark, It was a pleasure working for you and hope to see you at our store again.
Kuwaity, We can do any metal except for fibreglass as used on corvettes and the like. Looking forward to your visit.
Salah, you are correct it is 99% gone. You just have to come and see it to believe it yourself.

Recent update.
I did give them a visit yesterday to fix my car after reading reviews but unfortunately they damaged it instead! they hammered the hell out of the fender and now I really have to take it for a paint job!
Maybe they were good but now they’re even close to acceptable.
