Default Small Dent, How to Fix?

It's the smallest thing you can't even feel it but you can see it in the sun from the right angle.

It's on the drivers side panel towards the rear (after the door panel towards the back of the car).

Any idea on how to get it fixed and how much it would cost?

Thanks

Is this per panel or per dent? I have a couple I would like to get rid of.

I read and hear people give many differnt prices on paint less dent removal. I have heard $75 per panel and the $65 per ding/dent. But i had 4 dents caused by theives actually kicking or "knee-ing" my door and quarter panel, and numerous dings i think it was bout 7 on my driver and passenger doors and rear panel, i got all of it taken car of for $150.

It's per dent but sometimes they'll hook you up and do a couple for free (or maybe I just got lucky)....

I wouldnt doubt it..

Seriously.... if there are 2 real close of they have a little extra time, they usually throw one in to make you happy and keep you coming back.. because dents happen all the time.

I went to the local dent wizard and he said he couldn't help me because my dent is on the rear quarter panel, which he said is a sealed panel and he would have to drill a hold to get to it. I call bull **** on that one, I'm thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, that I could just take the interior panels out on that side to get to the back of the quarter panel. I know when we took the interior out of my friends 240 it was that way. Maybe I'll have some free time this weekend.

They REALLY DO work well. I had 2 done on the same door when I got the car since just a week of driving it allowed some old hag in her tub of rust to pull next to me in a lot and dimple my door in 2 spots. 45 minutes and $75. and all was brand new with no visable marks at all.

I also just saw one of their Techs do an RSX at the dealership n Manchester last week. He took out quite a large dent from right dehind the passengers door under the quarter window. He did a good job, you couldn't see it at all when he was finished.

Rates will vary with the area that you are in but, I do remember that they will remove up to 5 dents or dimples on the same panel for the one fee.


Good luck,


A.

Dent Wizard When I first bought my car it had a few dings and I called the dent wizard and it cost about $75 for maybe 5 dents and he was done in under an hour. I can't even tell where the dents used to be. I have 2 new dents now thanks to people who like to push on my fender to "test out" the new suspension. GRRRRR! I'm going to call on the dent wizard's magical skills again soon. Good Luck!
