Small dent repairs- Any experience (Huddersfield)

Hi, I have just bought a second hand car with a few (6) small dings / dents on it (the paint is not damaged), It is otherwise immaculate. I have had a look and I think they are all in places where you can get behind them (bonnet and one door). They do not look to be in double skinned areas. I really should not bother but I would like them fixed. I know the person who always looks after my cars charges about £300 per panel which I just do not want to pay.
I have seen adverts for paintless dent removal at about £50 per dent with reductions for more than one dent but I wondered if anyone had tried them and what your experiences are. Also if anyone could recommend anyone in the Huddersfield area or advise me of anyone who has done a bad job so I could avoid them.
Any advice would be appreciated.
The dings are all small and you would not normally notice them but when it is sunny and you polish the car they seem to stick out like a sore thumb (because I know they are there and I look for them)
Thanks

    This place has a fantastic reputation, it is a real family business, father and sons specialise in body repairs and paint spraying and have been doing it for years. Quality of repairs are perfect and their paint finishing is truly better than the factory. They will not rip you off, overcharge or have you over, just don't be put off by the 'back street' nature of their premises.

    Thanks for that but I thought these dent removers would be cheaper than a normal bodyshop?

    I actually live a couple of hundred yards away from this place. If you let me have more detail, I can nip down and have a chat with 'em for you?
