i get to my car a couple days ago and the ******** next to me dinged the $#!+ out of my driver side, just behind my door. It was a 6" long ding at least and was all a saw every time i was about to get in the car. The fix was $150.00, but it was absolutely flawless. I was amazed; I watched him massage the 6" long ding out of the side and it is completely gone. No hint of a ding.

Best $150.00 I spent on the car because the ding would have nagged me to death.

I agree, i had 2 small dings that knocked out flawlessly. Did you go to that place on beach and warner?

surfcity40

I had 20+ dents smoothed out of my past car, including a shopping-cart wound about 12" high and a good 2" deep. $250 for every dent on the car, and no one could beleive the job had been done without repaint. That guy was a magician.

I know all about paintless dent removal. When I was at work one day (2 days after getting my car) I noticed a dent the size of a fist on my passanger side front corner. I was so ____ed off, I took it to a local shop and paid $75.00 to have it removed. From the naked eye you could never tell it was there, even if i point out where is was.

I wish you guys would post pix. Even if we can't see anything. I don't especially trust dealers to post real pix...

yep, scott, jeff magill is who i used. he is at the site you found.
awesome results. truly amazing. worth the drive from pasadena if you have dings.

he also offers a two week training program to learn the "trade"....when i went there i inquired about it. he said basically, "i kind of chase people away because the two week class is around $10,000.00 because of the personal commitment to training. <cough>. he says it will then be about three years till you are any good.

i forgot to mention....he had to drill a hole in the door jam to access the dent with the rubbing tools...he said he could have lifted the car and taken off the tire and accessed it from the wheel well but the farther away from the ding the tool can access the dent, the less perfect the results. he basically used the same plastic "cap" that is already on the inside of your upper driver door to seal the door jam access hole.

had i known the fix would be "perfect", i would have documented it with photos. people are amazed because the ding was so noticable before the fix.

Thanks a lot SC40! I have a few days off this week, so I think I will call them and take a drive down.
I'm excited - one damn ding and it's killing me - the tC is only three months old!

thanks again,
Scott

i noticed my ding immediately. i couldn't let it stay a day....i went to beach cities the next day so i know what you're going through

i normally would consider $150.00 an extravagant spend for a "ding" but the tC has such an unbroken body line it was all i could see on the car. i know it's just me but a hundred fifty bux to make it new was worth it.

this guy knows his ch!t. i was awe struck.

watch him work and you will be as well.

gl, let me know

I found this when i getting my lasder jammer put in. I took most of it out with a toilet plunger and vaseline. Will PDR work on the rest of this?

surfcity40

yes but you may have lessened the chance of that. from what i understand as a dent "compacts" paint it can be rolled out without a crack...."expanded" paint as in a dent pushed out (by a freakin' plunger) may crack....once the paint cracks, so much for "paintless dent removal" pdr requires an innie not an outie.

SC40 - the worst part was that I DID IT MYSELF!!!
I knocked the door into my river-rock driveway wall.
The worst worst part? I have a piece of soft foam to put behind the door and when I pulled it out to close the door, my knee smacked the door handle and knocked it into the wall!!!

I will be sure to take before and after pix to post here.

And $150 is not too much to fix this...I've been dreaming about it!
