A large (4" diameter) branch snapped off a tree and landed on my roof whilst parked and has put lots of dents in the roof. Bad luck, but given my wife and I were stood behind the car at the time very lucky too.
Branch looks to have landed diagonally across the roof with rear roof corner taking the main hit. No paint damage but looks like being a b****r for dents to be removed, especially the main one given its on a curve, as is a smaller one above the drivers door on the other side. There's a number of smaller dents that might pop out but also a slight crease across about 10" of the roof. Difficult to catch on camera but ...

Car's only 18 months old. My total accidental damage excess is only £50 and I've got protected no-claims so looks like this'll be the way to go to get it repaired, accepting that my premium will still go up. Might get a dent removal place to have a look first to see what they think they could do and for how much.
Anyone recommend a place in Preston/Blackpool area ?
