Default Dents

Someone put a dent in my S200 and I've only had the damn thing 10 days (its a 2000). Bit dpressing but thats what you get living in Chiacago.

Anyone know of a way to pull a light dent out without taking it to the shop?

Cheers
Wardy

I would NOT recommend you attempt this yourself.

You can get paint-less-dent-repair done on a single dent typically for $35 bucks. Its WELL worth have a professional remove the dent.

Where would I go for a paint-less-dent-repair ? A Honda dealer?

Cheers

You might start you search by asking the dealer. Then Yellow Pages. Paintless dent removal can't remove every kind of dent. If it has a strong crease in it, for example, this method probably won't work. Or if it's too large, you may be left with a little bit of a "bulge" where the indentation used to be. I've got one of those, but you have to know where to look and what you are looking for. Think it is a better alternative to having paint matching problems down the road.

Thanks,
Richard

Try "Dent Wizard" - they're everywhere. I believe they were one of the early players in the paintless dent repair business. I've had cars, including my S worked on and have been very pleased.

Dent Pro does a good job, though it basically boils down to the technician's care. Don't be afraid to ask for references. Just be prepared for a little drilling on your S. Depending on where the dent is they may have to drill a hole in the door jam to get their tools in to work the dent out.

I've used my guy (ex-Dent Pro now) on my Porsche, Audi and my S frequently...I can't even sleep when one of the cars gets a ping from some careless degenerate.
