Default Paintless dent removal

Just wanted to share my experience for anyone who may need this service now or in the future.

I posted a couple days ago about a dent that was in my hood. I was upset to say the least.

Well I have a buddy who owns a body shop and he told me to bring it upfor his paintless dent guy to work on.

It was on the hood very close to where the metal has the bend.

Pic of damage


I was amazed at how it looked afterward. Took the guy 20 minutes and I can find no trace of the dent anywhere.

If you run into a situation where something like this is needed. Don't hesitate to try em out.

I saved a ton of cash doing this as opposed to the body shop actually repairing it.

Thanks for the info. I need to have some dings touched up on my wife's Explorer. If you don't mind me asking, how much does a repair like that cost? THX!

Most places charge $100 for 2 dents.

I just had a dent fixed in the door of the GTO. I honestly didn't think he'd be able to get it out since it was so deep. But I'll be damned. It looks great and he charged me $45. Not to mention, he came to my office and did it in the parking lot.

Well he cut me a deal since I am friends with the body shop owner, he only charged me $20.

Normally that job is 40-50 bucks.

Still a bargain though.
