Default Paintless Dent Removal

Hey guys,


Unfortunately, I walked out to my car having a couple of door dents in it (2 separate occasions) that were pretty bad and very noticeable. I called up Tri-state Dent Removal and Mike did a great job at getting the dents out. I need a little touch up paint, but for the most part I have to look for the mark to see where the dent was, and it can't be seen unless you're looking for it. It was a bit expensive but absolutely worth it. I just want to let you know that Mike and Tri-state Dent Removal did a great job and should be checked out if you need PDR in New Jersey, New York, or Connecticut.


As a side note, I can't wait for the day I see someone open their car door into mine

The PDR repair is the way-to-go!

My vehicles are always parked out of the city (door-ding city), taking two spaces and a good hike to the destination.

One day the wife, who had an identical vehicle, told me she used mine and it was dented by a shopping cart.

My incredulity factor was off-the-chart! (No, I still haven't forgotten, but I love her, so I'm mostly over it...)

It was fixed w/ PDR and $100, back when $100 was a lot of money. It looks fine, no evidence of damage.

Yeah, I need a little touch up paint because the dent was sharp, but mike did a great job. As far as people are concerned, I don't understand it. I park so far away from anyone and it still happens.

Taking two parking spaces is just an invitation to getting keyed.

Not saying its right but its an invitation in some peoples green eyes...

There are morons that consider a car parked far out an invitation. Maybe it's jealousy but it's infuriating, nonetheless. People have little respect for one another and I blame our entire society's lack of a sense of ownership and responsibility. Every major population area is loaded with inconsiderate, aggressive, rude, all-about-me azzholes. Not that I'm biased or anything but after growing up in Philly and then moving to various large and small communities, I despise folks in large communities for their arrogance.

My vehicles have all been protected with a unique security system that is featured in the attached video.

It is tweaked to trip if someone is being bad.

Nuke, I could not have said it better. Everytime I park "a mile" away I am afraid that some "a-hole" will just do exactly what you stated above.
