Wheeler Dealers Mike Brewer admits one part that is ‘impossible to repair’ on all vehicles

Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer had previously admitted motorists will never be able to fix a crucial car component found on almost every vehicle on the road. The star of the classic car restoration series suggested it was "impossible" to fix damage to the spare wheel well on the rear boot.

He warned a small bit of damage would always be visible regardless of how “good you are” at panel beating. He urged road users to always take a look inside the area before agreeing to the sale of a second-hand used car. Any marks or signs of damage could suggest the vehicle has been involved in a collision at some point over its lifespan.

Mike previously said: "An impossible thing to repair on a car. Let me tell you one impossibility to repair.

“You see the spare wheel well on the car underneath. If you open the boot and you look inside the spare wheel well, that was made in a factory and that is printed so it was round.

“If it has had one up the bum, You can't, no matter how good you are, it doesn’t matter if you’re the best panel beater in the world, you can’t make that like it was in the factory. So I always look inside the spare wheel well.”

The cost of repairing dents can significantly vary depending on a variety of factors such as the severity of the damage and the make and model affected.

Despite this, road users should expect to pay anywhere between £50 and £150 for any minor repairs to their vehicle bodywork.

According to experts at Caversham Coachworks, motorists should always try to repair bodywork damage for some key reasons.

Firstly, fixing damage is likely to preserve resale value with visible dents allowing second-hand buyers to knock a fair chunk off the asking price.

Meanwhile, they warn that fixing dents is crucial to protecting the model's safety and preventing any further damage.

The specialists explained: “Dents can compromise your vehicle’s structural integrity. Neglecting them may lead to more significant problems down the road, like rusting or further damage during collisions.”
