Angry Dent !!!!

I dorm @ Hofstra and someone decided to be a jealous prick and put a dent in my hood w/ his fist right @ one of the folds!! So before I slashed every tire in sight, I went to the dealership (Smithtown Acura) and they told me that they have their "dent guy" "Dent Master" look at it and if he could get it out, itd be $150. I said sure. So after waiting 3 hours for this guy to show up he tells me "Yeah, I should be able to get it out. It'll definetly look half way decent, if you want better, bring it to a body shop" Well going out on a whim, since I couldnt leavr the dealership @ 5 in the afternoon to head West I said go ahead. HOLY SHIT !!! Its like nothing ever happened I couldnt be happier, I recommend this guy to anyone. He can do it as long as the paints not scratched. If you're goin to the meet Sunday, I'll show you where the dent was

Yeah I had the Dent Wizard take out a dent that I thought was impossible to do but to my surprise I can't even spot the place where the dent was. Some kid threw what turned out to be a baseball at my car (evening hour, drizzle) and it was coming right at the windshield and I was ducking out of sight because I thought it was a rock coming. Well it hit my hood first and then made a loud pop on the windshield. I didn't see the kid throw it and when I started looking around I couldn't find who did it. So I called the police and reported the problem but nothing ever came of it. I didn't even notice the dent until the next day when I entered my garage and notice the light doing a bend where it shouldn't. I was so pissed. Then I noticed my windshield was chipped too (small chip, no need for replacement)! The good news was that I got the dent out for $50.

As long as the paint is not broken, these guys can perform miracles. We have used a company called American Dent in the Sacramento area to remove dents on four different cars. The guy is amazing. When he gets done, it's hard to tell where the dent was. He has charged us anywhere from $30 on a door dent on my Tundra to $90 on a total of 5 dents on our CL. It just makes you feel great to come out and see your ride restored to its original state.

PDR has its limitations. My hail damage on my brand new 04 could be fixed by PDR but over 100 dings so too labor intenstive. So PDR will fix $1600 and traditional body shop about $3500 on top of that. Hood will even be replaced. All of a sudden the one door ding or rock that I dreaded pales in comparision of having a $39000 SUV with hail damage and lower resale due to having been repaired.
PDR has done amazing work for me in the past. if they can reach it they can fix even huge dents to 99%

I'm having a PDR company (under warranty) do the wrinkles around my moonroof that occurred when I hit a bump hard. I noticed that there are reinforcements at certain points around the opening, though. Have any of you had any experience with the PDR company not being able to reach a certain location?

I had paintless dent removal done when 3 weeks after I got it a nice hail storm decided to come though. They fixed all of my dents but it cost the insurance company $3000 bucks!!
