Default paintless dent removal

Guys,

I recently bought a used S2000 that has two small dents. The dealership that sold me the car will take care of the repair outsourcing someone this Thursday.

The dents are on the fender passenger side(above the wheel well). Is this an easy process that look fine after the fix? Anybody got something similar done?

The dealership sells high end car, so I am taking their words for it.

TIA,
tony

I will let you know and post a pic. Here in socal they charge 60-75 per dent.

My buddy has a different car that has some dents on the door. I could not tell after the fix.

Crossing my finger on my S2000.

Tony

I hosted a dent day at my house last spring and the results were astonishing. You won't be able to tell you had a dent there at all. for PDR. If you go on youtube and search pdr, there'll be a lot of good vids showing the process.

I had a local PDR guy take out a door ding from my passenger side and it came out 99%. I can see just a little hint of where it was almost creased, but only I would ever see it knowing it was there.

I've had dents like the OP's pic removed. A total of 6 actually. Done by Dent Wizard. Very nice, very painless, and not expensive (way cheaper than going to a body shop.

i went to a local dent day here in the bay area and i swear that i'm not exaggerating it took two seconds and my dent vanished! i was a super satisfied customer

tntrac- you got ripped off, i only paid $35 for each dent

also, to the op, ironically i have the same exact dent but on my driver's side fender. my suspicion is that someone leaned/sat on it while it was at the dealership.... damn fatasses... lay off the mcdonalds!

The dents you have will come out easily. PDR can me made to look just like new depending on the experience of the person doing the work and the location/access to the dent.
