Default Hail damage cured!

Last August 11, 2004 a nasty hail storm struck Falls Church and Arlington. Although at first my S looked OK, as time went on I found 30 to 40 dings on it. I did not report it to my insurance company, thinking that my rates would go up, and they are high enough from my tickets and those of my kids. Then, after my wife

Yeah, I did a quick search and found positive posts about him on a BMW and Mazda site with no complaints.

His quote was of course specific to my car's damage. The size, location, and number of dents you have will determine your costs. The cost for what I asked him to do happened to have been around $700. All I can say is that you will find him fair and easy to work with.

It was interesting that on his first look at the car, he told me which direction the storm had passed the car. It was dead-on. Thunderstorms, including this hail storm almost always go by my office in the same direction.

for that many dings i can imagine that being a great price for quality work. my father bought a CR-V the first year they were available and two weeks into ownership was caught by some hail to the tune of $5000 in damage (hood, roof, other panels...).

do you have a phone number or website by which we could contact him?

If any body is interested in PDR north of DC I know a guy who does the dents for the dealership I work at in PA. He is from PA too but he goes down to Carmax in Rockville at least twice a week. So he is in the area too. He kicks the shit out of any PDR I've seen, and he's reasonable too. His company name is Dentcrafters Inc. from Dover, PA. I'll have to dig his card up, or I might see him around the dealership.
