paintless dent removal (PDR)

[insite]

someone clipped my car in a parking lot once and put a sick dent the size of my fist just aft of the inlet on the driver's side quarter panel (dented in maybe 1/2" and wrinkled a little). needless to say, they took off.

since i was going to have to pay out of pocket to fix it (didn't want to claim it on insurance) i opted to give the paintless dent removal a try before going for conventional body work.

for $300, Dent Wizard got it to 99% (BARELY notice any trace) of perfect. i didn't think they'd even be able to do it at all. i highly reccomend this if you can find a shop that specializes in this.

Dent Werx removed about a dozen dings from a British Racing Green Miata that my g/f owned. Even got one out of the rear deck that was caused by her closing the trunk on a parcel that was too large for the compartment..so it popped upwards and outwards.

The guy came to my house to do the repair...set up a large lamp kit and went to work with some serious looking metal rods with smooth curved ends that he placed between the coachwork panels and manipulated around to remove the dings. Took him about and hour...plus he drove 40 miles each way. Cost was $150....he even got a little dent out of the hood of my Z.

I have no experience with the companies that use suction devices to remove dents.
