THOUSANDS of supermarket customers will be offered paintless dent removal for their vehicles along with their weekly shop in a ground-breaking business venture.

Dent Wizard has teamed up with the AA and Sainsbury's to offer the service to the supermarket's customers at the Monks Cross superstore in York.

Offered as part of the AA Checkpoint service, which provides shoppers with car safety checks by AA mechanics, and internal and external valeting since last March, the service could be launched nationwide if it is successful.

Tony Williams, Dent Wizard European operations director, said: 'Motorists can have their car dents removed while they do their shopping.'
