Reputable Ding Repair? What to look for?

I've got some dings in my cars I can't stand anymore. And the most recent one really tested my faith in humanity. I'm on Craigslist looking for mobile repairmen/woman, can I trust them? What should I look out for? Is it bad if they are available in a days notice? Anyone from MA know anyone great?

Call your local new car dealer(s) for referrals-- they would probably use the best PDR outfits to fix minor dings on new cars before delivery.

Ask them if they're insured. It may be a small thing and they might think they can't cause any damage to a car by PDR but a reputable company needs to have insurance on their work just in case.

What part of MA are you in? I can look up someone up there.

Definitely do not go with craigslist. Unless the guy has a huge company and advertisements every where.

call up your local exotics dealer, or BMW/MB/Audi, etc and ask who they use for Paintless Dent Repair. Also call up some performance shops and see if they have any suggestions as well!

I also called the local exotics bodyshop here in N.C and they had a couple shops that does the PDR work for them.

I know how stupid dings can be annoying. I had my car parked under a tall oak tree with acorns fallen on my car, so i just claimed it on my car insurance as property and hail damage. Saved some money too
