Wanna trade dents? My $225ish after a discounted rate kinda blows, lol.

:) I recommend this place! haven't had the work done yet but 3 dents will be removed next weekish.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
What was your quote for the 3 dents? If you don't want to say, then don't worry about it. I'm just curious, since I thought ours was pretty high, even with the discount.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Yours does seem high, but since it sounds like nobody else can even do it I guess that doesn't leave you many options. Are you sure he said $225? Thats more than double what the serious dent that required drilling on the Impreza cost, and more than double what my 3 dents cost (I did get really hooked-up though since I'm the one who set all this up). I'll let Peter tell you his quote, but its also an extremely good price. He also got a quote for a clear-bra that was great, and we both got quoted $65 for touch-up painting of the front bumper, hood, and fenders that blends in so well with the factory paint you can hardly tell there was at one point a chip (my dad had this done too, you have to be within inches to see where the chips were).

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
It all depends on how big the dents are.. the small quarter size was like 125-150 and the 3 inch round size was 250 I think, according to his chart. Your dent was pretty huge and on a bodyline, thats probably why it cost so much.

Two of my dents are smaller than the quarter size and the other one is like a pea size dent. All three will cost 150ish with the discount.

$65/car for the chips as long as we bring at least 3 cars in at once to make it worth their guy's time (a separate guy does the paint work). We should find a time when we can all go in.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Anyone interested in professional rock chip touch-up painting done at this same PDR shop? Basically the paint is custom matched to each car so its perfect even if your paint is a bit faded. When done, it looks nearly perfect and you won't be able to tell a chip was once there (something not possible with traditional bottles of touch up paint).

I want to do this ASAP, and if I can get 3 or more cars together its only $65 each! It will only take a couple hours, but all the cars need to be done the same day. Let me know :)

Also, if anyone is interested, they are offering us insane deals on clear bras for the bumper, hood, fenders, headlights, and mirrors.

I still need to get my dent removed, but I have a chip or two I would love to fix as well. Do you have a date in mind?

I'd like to arrange it for a Saturday, but that may not work. We might possibly need to do a weekday. As for an exact date, I do not have one in mind yet. What works for people?

Sounds good. I am going to see the guy on Monday so hopefully I can get something arranged then.

Allan, are you 100% for sure in?

AJ 06-21-2007 09:42 AM

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
No, I'm not 100%. I think it may be somehting I'll look at when I finally get my car in for the dent.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Yea I dont think Im going to, want to get my lifters to stop ticking first haha. My hood isnt too bad, so ill wait till the bumper gets nice and chipped up again.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Without going through and reading all of this again, do these guys take care of hail dents? We were in that nasty hail storm a week and a half ago and both cars got hit BAD. Cindy's had $2600 worth of damage. Mine is getting estimated tonite. Lots of little dings. Would they do these as well? Or are they only for the little onesy, twosy ones?

Kracka 06-28-2007 08:25 PM

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
They do hail damage, my dad's GTO is in their shop for the 3rd time in two summers due to hail damage. Everytime the car has come back looking perfectly, and my dad leaves with money in his pocket b/c they charge less than the insurance estimate/check.

MATCHBX 06-29-2007 11:52 PM

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Cool!! We have 2 vehicles to get taken care of. Hers was damaged to the tune of $2600 and mine was done to the tune of $4300!! The lady told me that it was the second largest that she had done that week. The other one was over $10,000!!!!!

It was so bad they want to replace the hood and said the roof might need to be replaced. I found a brand new hood and 2 fenders paint matched for under $900. I figured I would replace those and then get the hail dings out of the roof. Just too labor intensive for them to take out the dings in the hood. They estimated between 101-150 in the hood alone. Half dollar size!!!!

AJ 07-19-2007 02:30 PM

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Well I tried to get my car in finally to get fixed up, but these three ladies have some touch up paint work scheduled for the day. So I'm finally getting mine fixed up on Monday while I wait.

Just got Anna's car back last night. These aren't the best pics but you get the general idea. She was parking the car (just a few weeks after she got it--still getting used to the size of the car) when suddenly the garage jumped out and hit her! Also, the week Anna got this car, it snowed about a foot one day while she was at work. She came out and brushed off the snow with a snow brush from the back seat. We figured out later that there must have been rocks in the brush from it being on the floor in the car, and it put a TON of really really bad scratches all over the hood, roof, rear qpanel, and passenger doors.

Before--you can see the paint is all screwed up, and there is a good dent in the fender. You can see a nice crease near the top of the wheel arch. :(

Tough to tell now, but there was two or three huge scratches right down the middle of the hood. Looks nice and glossy!

Yeah, I'm going back just before winter to have a few spots on the front of the car touched up, washed, waxed, and then I'm getting the hood, front bumper, and probaly parts of the 1/4 done with their clear bra.

I saw Anna's car before and after and it is simply amazing. I really want to take the Evo to them when the time is right.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
+1 for DentKraft

I had them fix my Evo after it had $2800 in hail damage done to it. My brother saw the car before and after, he is an experienced autobody guy and couldn't find a single dent afterwards.

Going in for a clear-bra this week :) I'm doing it all: hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper, and headlights.

Might be looking to bring Katy's car to this guy next time she has it in town. She said she has some knicks up front she wants to take care of.

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
The clearbra film has been applied to my hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper, and headlights. I'd post pictures, but there is no way you could see it. I am very happy with it, it provides 99% coverage to my front end and you can only see if it you REALLY look for it.

Kracka 04-23-2008 05:14 PM

Re: Paintless Dent Repair
 
Bump because there has been so much interest in PDR, rockchip touch-up painting, and clear bra installation recently.
