G Got Dinged This Weekend!

Found a ding on my car yesterday. Pisses me off! I can't stand to look at it and need to get it fixed ASAP. Anyone know of a good shop in San Diego that can fix dings fairly cheaply but does quality work.

Ouch, thats going to be an expensive fix, because its on the body line, PDR won't be able to remove that totally, if at all. I would guess no better than 80%. That location is also almost impossible for the tech to get at without drilling into the body somewhere. To get it correctly repaired at a body shop will required a repaint of at least the quarter panel and blend into the door if not more panels, so you are looking at $800+

I got a quote from dent devils in san diego and the guy their said he can get it fixed for $250 w/out doing any drilling or repainting. I don't know the whole process but he said he would have to work slowly to ensure that the paint doesn't chip off. He said it is more difficult because of the location but I should have it back to normal. I got an appt on Thursday. I will have pictures after I get it repaired.

Just got my dent repaired from dent devil. I think it a great job. He didn't have to drill holes or anything. I cant see any indication where the dent was. I'm impressed. Picture is a little dark.
