Default Re: various door dings & hail damage

He found 26 dents (not 12) and now the door looks completely brand new! Not a dent, not a ripple!

He did find hail damage I had not noticed. He said it had probably been fixed, but they missed about 10 small dents. Now I need him to come back. If you are looking for work: Try 'small dent repair'! The gentleman had had 12 jobs that day, each for a minimum of $100! Not bad! $1500 to $2000 a day. $8750 a week, and $35,000 a month! And he definitely earned his money! I need to post a picture of my door! It is amazing!
I bought my red coupe 2 yrs ago, and it came with about 10 dings in the doors and quarter panels. At that time we had a GTG in Spring at John's (Boiler) in Indianapolis, and we had a PDR repair person come to his house. At that time, he massaged all the dings and dents out, AND found a dent by a front headlight, which was on a contour, and repaired that. Time taken about 1 hour, at a total cost $150.00. A good, experienced, PDR person is like an artist. Best bargain in the world. Many PDR people will try to charge $75 for 1 dent , $100 for 2, and then add and add. Best to negotiate the total before. When dings or dents are pretty close together, they will just do them for the cost of one. If any interior panels need to be removed and replaced, or holes need to be drill for the their tools to get in, that could add to it.

Best to keep his number handy ...... Texas is the "hail capital" of the country.LOL
