All I can say is: Incredible!

I'm sure like many, I'm a real stickler when it comes to the upkeep and maintenance of my RX. I was so distraught when I discovered a quarter sized door ding made by an inconsiderate moron, er, motorist.

But through some advice and recommendations from other owners, I went and tried out Dent Wizards in San Antonio and, well, the pictures speak for themselves.

The job took less than an hour and for $80. Not bad, IMHO. Here's hoping someone will be able to find relief from their dings.

Sorry about the ding, but the fix looks great. I had a similar situation in my SC300 a couple years back and found Dent Wizard to be the best choice for me at the time when I lived in Scottsdale AZ -- you too it appears. The main thing I liked with them is they do the repair without drilling new holes unlike many of their competitors -- I had these nightmares of the left overs from the drilling inside the doors or elsewhere causing future problems, but fortunately with Dent Wizards process -- no problems like that. I would go back to them should I have the need in the future.

I also had a bad crease in my 540i. The body shop wanted to repair and repaint the whole panel for $770. I figured that I had nothing to lose, so I took it to a paintless dent removal place called the dent doctor and was amazed at the results. I could not find the spot they had fixed and I knew where the crease used to be.
They charged $75, but that was 4 years ago.
