Where to roll Fenders in SoCal.......San Diego?

Posted this in the 3rd gen forum, but not getting anyone who knows of any shops.

Hey guys looking for a reputable place in SoCal that has a rolling machine to roll fenders. I'm getting some pretty high quotes. $95/hr and they say it takes 4 hours to do just the rear two wheel wells. Anyone have experience with any places? Does anyone have any inside deals?

Wow this was from awhile ago. I'm sorry but if someone came near my car with the purpose of rolling a baseball bat against it I would castrate them. I actually didn't need this service after modifying the A-Spec kit. Eastwood makes a nice fender roller that I've seen in action, but luckly I didn't need it.

That is one of the many ways to do it. It sounds crude but this is the way it originated and is still done. Its no different than the tool at what it does

Atleast with the tool it gives the illusion of being in control of the situation...............and not just winging it. Although I've seen the eastwood in action and it worked perfect. Yeah I just can't see someone with a hairdryer and baseball bat working on my baby
