I had great success with a paintless dent repair on my G.... I was sideswiped by my father and took a dent along the rear fender in front of the gas door. I also had a dent on the trunk. When I took it to my body shop, the estimator told me to call "Dent Magic" and thought they could fix it much cheeper than the body shop could. So I called "Dent Magic" and talked to "Ron". Ron came out to my car and fixed both to near perfection! $85 per dent pull. This saved me a bundle of money. The body shop quoted me around $275 to fix the dent by the gas door and $250ish for the trunk. My total cost was $175. I still need to have a touchup paint on the trunk, but the fender by the gas door is perfect. I highly recommend "Dent Magic". Sorry that I have lost the phone number, but Malone's Paint and Body can give it to you. 281 469-6464

Haha...sure, blame me for that, like I was driving your car when it happened. Nonetheless, I am glad that dent is gone because I know how much it bothered you. It really bothered me too because I should've seen it behind you.

If you are in the Austin area, I HIGHLY recommend Dentworks of Austin on Burnet just north of 183. I had them take out two good sized dents on the rear fender right infront of where the OEM spoiler overhangs the side. You can't even tell that there ever was a dent there. The guy's name is Trey Pool. Their phone number is (512)964-3368 and website is http://www.dentservice.com . He charged me $80 total for both dents in addition to a small ding in my passenger door.

Wow!
That's a better deal than I got. Dent Magic charges $85 per dent. Shop around. The paintless dent repair really works!

I'm not sure if there is a Dent Wizard in Texas, but they did a great job on my car. I had 2 small door dings and you can't even tell they were there anymore. The best part was they only charged 75 bucks for both and came to my office.

OK,
So I retract my recommendation of Dent Magic. It seems Ron of Dent Magic charges twice as much as everyone else. But the "Paintless dent removal" is a great way to save yourself some money. You just need to shop around for a good deal. I have investigated this issue and it appears to be an "art". Some may be better at it than others. Maybe that's why Ron of "Dent Magic" charged me so much. He really did a great job!
