Pdr - (updated below)

Anyone here ever been to or heard about Touch Up in a Flash in Milton.
Among other things, they do PDR. I have an appointment this afternoon for a couple door dents...$125.
I have asked around K-W and they all want $225 or more.

I just cant wait for the next PDR clinic. They are bugging the shyte out of me.

Hope they do a good job. My ex had a BMW with a dent and after PDR the dented area looked like a golf ball.

Update - dents removed

Well these guys at Touch Up in a Flash did a pretty good job. They have a nice clean shop, a large bay that must have been able to hold 10 cars, with very professional and courteous staff. They were busy.
One thing they said (which a couple other PDR estimators also told me) is that the large dent close to the edge of the door was 'pop-canned' so they didn't want to push it to hard/too much or it could start having ill effects on the metal and even the paint.

Overall I am satisfied. I would say the small dent is better than 98% repaired. I cannot see it. The large dent on the rear door is better than 90% repaired. You won't notice it unless you know it was dented and are really looking for it. Best $125 I've spent in a while.

Here are my before and after pics.

Hi Wayne. The small one in the front happened, on a verrrrry windy day while at my daughters hockey tourney in Brantford. No note if you can believe it .

The bigger one in the back door was my own doing and I don't want to talk about it.
Let's just say I had to run to catch my car.

Glad to hear you had a good experience with Touchup in a Flash.

My group of dealers uses them for our pre-owned inventory, and they always do a great job.
