Default Paintless Dent Removal

O.k...it happened.

Despite my best efforts to keep the Garage Queen blemish free, it got dented on the driver's side door about three quarters of the way down. It is hardly even noticable, but it is too new for me to not have it fixed. I think that one of my kids did it as they were packing and loading up the Pilot. It just happened yesterday morning. I detailed it Friday night and saw it yesterday afternoon in the garage at the condo we're staying at on New Smyrna Beach. I don't think that too many people would even bother to fix it, but I really want it taken out.

The paint and clear coat are not chipped--there isn't even a scrape on the door surface. All those heavy coats of wax and quick detailer paid off.

Any recommendations on paintless dent removal places in the Orlando area. I checked some of the previous threads, and Joe Atanasio's and Brad Johnson's names came up, both of whom had favorable reviews. I also saw that Holler, the dealer where I got the car, works with Dent Wizard.

Thanks for your help.

By the way, Willie Gee, if you are out there, I took the famly out to The Garlic for dinner yesterday, and it was great. Thanks for getting us hooked on that place.

The name of the business is Mr. Dents
The guys name is Kermit (like the frog). Phone number is 1-866-463-3687. He is a super nice guy just tell him that josh from B.A.S. gave you his number. He will come out to your work or your house and do it, and he is very resonable on his prices.

FYI - - the guy I've used before in Tampa is the Dent Medic,
Dennis Palumbo is the guys name, his number is 800-747-0690

I've been very happy with all of his work, he's a perfectionist
- - usually charges $80-100 a panel

Triman,

I also had a dimple in my door, (among other paintball damage) and had it paintlessly removed. It is impossible to notice where it once was.

I used:

Brennan Bodyworks
4198 Mercy Industrial Ct.
Orlando, Fla.
32808
(407) 295-6642


Sincerely,
Thraak

Thanks for the recommendations on repair shops and techs. I am sure that they would have done a great job, but I went with Brennan Bodyworks because I had the chance to see the shop's work.

I spent a few minutes with the office manager and shop foreman, both of whom are real car guys. They specialize in German cars, but still work on most of the other import brands.

They did a great job...impossible to tell where the ding was.

thraak, they still remember you.
