Some moron put a solid dent in my driver's door in a parking lot -- really annoying. I just picked up the car from the shop and it now looks absolutely perfect. They used "Paintless Dent Repair" on it and the total cost was $100. I'm very pleased -- PDR works !

 

Good stuff! Even better are the mobile PDR units.

Recently on another car, I used a mobile bumper repair guy. I had a scuffed up bumber that would have cost me $600 to repair at a traditional body shop. This guy came out and made it look like new for $250.

There are also outfits that do mobile wheel repair too,

 

Nice!

I earlier checked the yellow pages looking for PDR (I'd read of it,) but if it was there, I clearly missed it. As it is, I reported it to my Insurance Co. and selected one of their nearest network collision repair shops (maybe a mile away.) Their PDR specialist took a look and thought he could handle it -- he was right ! My collision deductable is $250, so I'm really happy to get a back-to-original repair for $100.

 

Do those guys clean up rims that have scraped against curbs, or if not, then what?

 

Sure do....that and dings too.

Here is one outfit with examples of what they can do:

Those photos remind me of what I used to pay $160 for -- OUCH!

I was just looking at the prices for replacement rims for my current setup and thinking maybe I should buy one or two as a precaution ! Still, it's around $140 per rim!
