Default Dent Repair in DC Area??

Just got a few small dents on the hood of my SC from a hail storm. Anyone know of a good dent repair place or PDR in the Washington, DC metro area. I live in Maryland. Thanks

Ok - Been researching - anyone use Dent Masters in Bethesda, MD?? Anyone use Euro Pros in Gaithersburg, MD (Lexus of Rockville uses them).

Spoke with my person at Lexus of Rockville and he said to bring car in and have it looked at by their dent person (from Dent Wizard) who is there every day. He will give me an estimate and will do PDR if possible.

We had hail damage to several of our cars.. One being our RX350 and we used Nationwide Dent Repair in Waldorf to fix the dents.

They did a perfect job.. You can't tell there was ever a dent anywhere and there were probably 40 dents on the SUV.

They also did our Avalon and it had many more dents. They not only got out all the hail damage but any other little ding it had too.

We used our insurance since it was an "act of God" type of claim.. They can't raise your rates on this type of claim.

Thanks. I will check out Nationwide Dent Repair although Waldorf is abt an hour + from Bethesda. Do you know what method they used on the dents (was it paintless dent repair)? Did you get insurance est. before taking your cars to Nationwide Dent Repair or do they take care of that there? I assume it was worth it to go with insurance even after deductable which means this was over $500? I have about 20 dents -all very tiny. My Acura coupe was also outside during the hail and has some tiny dents but it is an older car and also has some scratches and other dings that would be good to get fixed if not too costly. Never expect hail in MD - or the damage it can cause to cars. This is real ugly stuff!!

My deductible was only 250 on comp. Damage to my Lexus was 1200, 2400 to our Avalon and 2500 to our Honda.

Yes, this was PDR (paintless dent repair) repair and they were quick with the turnaround, they brought in some extra help from around the country.

In my case, I had the Insurance adjuster look at the vehicles first and then took them to the repair shop. The repair shop estimate was higher so they called the insurance company and did a supplement to the original estimate and the insurance paid it all.
