Default Dents

I cleaned my car today and I noticed a dent on the passenger side of my car. It's not too big but it's really buggine me. Do any of you know a good way to remove these? If possible

Paintless dent repair. They'll often come to you. If there's no break in the paint and it's in a good spot (ie, not near a crease), they can often be miracle workers. Ask your favorite bodyshop or your Ford dealer who they use.

I also have had good luck with the "paint-less" body repair guys. I had one bad door ding that looked hopelessly deep and "presto" you couldn't tell it was there. I gave the guy a big hug, and a tip to boot. Give it a try, what do you have to lose.

Do they have a website? What do they usually charge?

I looked my guy up in the phone book, but you can also ask any car dealer to recommend the one they use for their cars. Almost all used car lots have their dents sucked out before reselling the car. Good luck finding one in your area, it shouldn't be a problem.

There will probably be several local to your area. Ask your body shop or your dealer who they use. My guy charges $75 and does the work right in my driveway.

Here in St. Louis we have 2 chains which are national... Dent Wizard and Dent Devil.

I take mine to Dent Devil because they are cheaper... I swear by them. Haven't had a dent yet they couldn't remove.

It may be small, but I notice it every morning when I walk into my garage and it really bugs me. But, I'm sure you guys understand.

You can barely see it in this picture, but it gives you an idea where it is.

For a dent, it looks like a good spot for paintless dent repair.

I've had two dents... one from a little kid swinging the passenger door wide... I had a feeling and just didn't move the car. Their car was gone and I found the dent when I returned. It was in a bad spot and there's just the tiniest ripple left.

The other from a drunk blonde passenger in a monster truck... stuck around for that one and the driver's insurance paid for it. That one is perfect except for a tiny dot where it lost some paint. um.. of course, his insurance paid me for the total repaint and repair of the door. That one helped pay for my duals... hehe...

Good luck!
