Default Got door dings? Small dents?

A friend of mine chases hail for a living (about 6 months out of the year) and is always looking for ways to keep his skills up to date and fresh while in the "off-season" (Sept/Oct-March/April).

I know how paranoid most of us are about parking to avoid door dings, yet the inevitable always happens and somehow, we end up with door dings and other misc. small dents in our cars.

Normally, this requires going to some place like Dent Wizard, getting a quote for an outrageous sum of money to remove a small dime-sized ding, and then forking over the cash.

NOT ANYMORE!

If/when there's enough demand (4/5 cars perhaps?) - my friend has been kind enough to offer his services for all your PDR needs *up to a half-dollar in size* at 50% off the Dent Wizard quote - bigger dents will have to be arranged on a dent-by-dent basis, seeing as no dents are equal - he's willing to do them, just not at the standard 50% off. (note: he was trained at the Dent Wizard Dent School, and has been working in PDR for the last 8 years - now owning his own company)

This is primarily just an interest topic - seeing if there is enough demand right now to arrange a day for him to do all of this. Ideally this would be in the Charlotte area, though if someone has a large warehouse that can fit a number of cars, perhaps this could be combined with another tech day event of some sort in an area more central to the interested parties. I'm open to suggestion

He'd prefer to do a batch of cars all at once, though I can speak with him about taking a few just to do one or two if really necessary.

SO! If you currently have dings/dents that you'd like removed, and don't feel like paying full price to have them removed, post up and I'll get a list going.

We'll see where we are from there.



(P.S. - feel free to PM me on a one-off basis in the future if you happen to get any dings/dents, I'll see what can be arranged!)

Dent Wizard Dent School! HUH?

I actually have a few door dings but they are really tiny, i never see or think about them. I need some help on some rocks chips especially after this last Dragon event.

Dent Wizard sends all their people who do PDR to "dent school" - the place where they're taught how to do PDR and such - you have to pass or you have no job, and from what my friend says, it's quite an intensive process at points. Hence, they end up with (generally) well-trained staff.

I'll see what he can and can't do in further specifics if you want - get all the specifics I can for you guys This is a long-standing offer so no need to organize something right away, but as he's in town for the next few months it might be good timing to get him before he leaves for hail season in the spring

I have a small dent in the driver's door but I was thinking about pulling a Mulder and just waiting until I happen to run the body panel in question into a large oak tree....

I have a very small small ding on the top part of my right rear quarter panel that I put there myself when I was putting on my convertible top cover. I would be interested in your friend's services.
