Default Paintless dent removal

Has anyone ever had paintless dent removal done? I have a door ding above the right wheel well and sure would be nice to have that gone.

I had Dent Wizards fix a rather nasty dent in the door of a 2000 Solara (which had broken paint). They did a great job - you couldn't tell it had ever been there in terms of fixing the dent. However they, or the detailing shop that brought them in, tried to buff out the paint and just managed to dull a circular pattern into my clear coat. If I'd known I'd have told them not to do me any favors with the paint- just fix the dent.

Arrow Re: Paintless dent removal

I posted my dent removal experiences (not with the TCH) on this site, and have been 100% satisfied on the three occasions that I used this method. One dent was 6" wide, and as with each of them, the results left the blemish completely undetectable.

My TCH had paintless dent removal when it was 2 weeks old. A ding in the driver side front fender was perfectly repaired. Excellent!

Default Re: Paintless dent removal

Some jerk (a much nicer word than the one I want to use) hit my read bumper in a parking lot. I had pulled through a parking spot, so my back end was facing him (or her) when he parked behind me. Now I have 2 indentations from the front license plate screws, and a slight "crease" in the bumper. It doesn't look terrible, but it's driving me crazy. Anyone have any suggestions on if this can be fixed or if the whole plastic bumper cover will have to be replaced? I'm almost scared to go to the body shop for fear of what they will quote me even though it's minimally damaged.

I too have used dent wizard on a dent that I thought had no chance because of the location. And they came through, I couldn't believe it.

How likely would it be if it were right smack dab in the middle of the door?

Thumbs up Re: Paintless dent removal

Paintless dent repair is incredible! I took my car to BumperDoc a few times and amazed in what they can do. I had a 10 inch crease on my camry luckily they were able too get the dent out all the way and saved me from repainting my door and fender! I saved $800.00, and my repair only took one day! Look for a Auto Reconditioning Center in your area, and if they're as good as http://bumperdoc.com you will be very happy!
