PDR in DC Metro area

I was in Rockville today at RIO. I parked in the garage to watch a movie. I walked out to find a Ford Excursion parked right beside and not straight onto my space. I didn't notice it until later but he scraped and dinged my driver-passenger door.

anyone know of any good places in the DC area for PDR?

oh yeah...fuck big gas hogging Ford Excursions.

Damn that sucks man. Pics of the damage? You may be able to fix it yourself with a pen marker or else I would contact a dealer and see who they use for their painting needs since they rarely (if ever) do painting in house. Check Craigslist too as I see auto work ads on there too.

How much would it cost to fix something like this up?

Wow, man I would be so pissed if that happened. I check my car everytime I see someone park real close to me or even if a sh*tty car parks next to me bc they usually don't care. I hate it when I park far and someone randomly parks next to my car -_-

As for the damage, hard to tell on the price. Doesn't look too bad so it shouldn't be a lot. I would contact shops and show them the pics so they can decide form there since usually their price is on a case by case basis with a minimum charge. I would call up your dealer and ask them if they know anyone they work with since those places are trustworthy enough for the dealer to get work done so they have to do good work...usually lol. GL.

ouch man.......that shouldn't be more than $150 to fix. I'd say closer to $100. when I'm at Rio I usually park on the upper level garage since less cars tend to park there.

when I needed PDR I found a member on here to do it but I forgot his username. when I was browsing the web I remember I found quite a few in the area though.

there was a commercial running a while ago with the same guy that does the mighty putty bullshit...

the thing he had was some suction cup thing that could just straighten the dents out... idk if it works or not, but u could look into it...

btw... i think rio is in gaithersburg

Thumbs up Fixed




with PDR, my ding is out.



The cost was $125 and it looks like its never been hit.


The guy I went to is from DentMasters. He actually does work for Pohanka Acura and that's where we met. His name is Richie and you can reach him at 703-969-5915. Since he's worked on Acura's before I felt comfortable with him working on my TSX.

Outstanding job! He also took care of a minor ding also

Great to hear man, that price isn't too bad but you know it's all profit for them anyways haha. Looks like he did good work at least.
