Default Body Shops and Auto Detailing

I was thinking this might be a good topic for us here on Hawaii/Oahu because we usually get dents or need someone else to clear or detail our car because we are just lazy. It would also help me find some places too.

Well....anyone would recommend a place to fix dents on a car that would do great quality and for a good price?

Well...as for cleaning the car I only taken my car to the Tony Group Autoplex Carwash so far. I'm satisfied with their service, but on certain days when their busy they sometimes miss a spot or spots.

I'm also looking for someone who does paint-less dent repair. I have about 2-3 very minor small dent that I want to be pushed out to flat. If it's cheap enough and the guy knows what he is doing then I'll do it. Any referral guys???

I had Dent Doctors do my truck once upon a time. They do a good job. Pretty thorough. Took all of 20 minutes. No mater how good they are though, you'll still be able to tell something was there. I haven't had paintless dent repars done in a few years though.
I have a guy that does my body work now though. My GS is gona need some work soon.

Yeah! I got about 2 dents I need to fix. So, you say paintless dent repair isn't that great? Damm! I really don't want to do any body work to my GS.

Not that its not great, It'll do the trick, but I'm picky... especially on my truck. The first time the guy did it, he took about 20 minutes to do one dent after he saw how picky I was, he took a lot longer on the others. Depending on the dent and where it is its anwhere from 50 bucks & up. You'll still know its there becuase its your car & you'll notice the small wave... other people might not notice it. 6 years later I know exactly where it was dented.
