Is dentbusters a body shop? Where? I'm looking for a place that will fix small dents like the ones you're talking about. But the only places I know are body shops where they'll put bondo on the ding to make the surface flat again and then repaint it. Is that what dentbusters do? If not, then I am really interested. Then theres this new product called "THE DING KING" that I've seen on infomercials where they have this sucking thingy that pulls the dents out. But infomercial products are really cheesy.

Just park away my friend. Away where the ignorants cannot open the door without looking. My car has one small ding which i have no idea how it appeared. I watch where i park now.... when u park just aside the grass area is better, you just need to watch the other side - if its way far from the other spot.

THE DING KING sucks. Don't bother. It'll just get glue on you car.

I've heard good and bad things about DentBusters. There's a guy who does work down by me, and he does awesome work.

If you want to take a trip down to NW Indiana, I can hook you up.

Well, if you've seen the work of this particular shop, then you have no reason to worry. If I recall correctly, each DentBusters, while they carry the same name are run independently. And some of the local shops work isn't "up to par". Pick marks in the paint, poor wet-sanding techniques, etc.

BUT... If you have aporven track record with a shop, then forget every word I've said.

Oh and... DentBusters is friggin' expensive. At least when I did the call arounds for quotes...

I work at a mall and used to always park in the nose bleeds, untill in the span of a month and a half 6 people had their car broken into and 1 of them stolen. The first week I parked close I got a huge dent with white paint over my blue.
