A boom in demand for paintless dent removal services in the UK is being predicted by Dentwizard which expects the worldwide market to be worth more than £250m over the next four years.

The international vehicle body repair company's services are used by BCA Europe and Manheim Europe which were both exhibitors at the show.

Dentmaster, the UK name, will be rebranded Dentwizard next month and earnings are forecast to increase by about 100% in the next year.

A Dentwizard spokesman said: “In the US, Dentwizard carried out 2m repairs last year and demand comes from all sectors of the industry.

“We expect to boost demand by training the industry about the benefits of using services to improve the look and value of vehicles.”

Dentmaster/Dentwizard can repair large dents, line damage and creases.
