Default paintless dent repair

If you know of a good shop for paintless dent repair can you please let me know. Also i would like your opinion on the result of the repair? Did it restore back to original new condition? My GS350 is not even one month old and some mother*$&@#$ put a dent on the passenger side door.

My roommate used to go to Dentpro in Campbell. He got in contact with a guy who works there and does it "off-the-clock" as a side job for much less. I will try and get the info. for you later since my roommate just left a few hours ago to Tahoe.

And I was quite impressed with the dent-fix Magnussen did. It was about a 3" by 1" dent on the passanger's door and you really can't tell at all after the fix. Although I don't know the cost there because it was paid by the dealer.

Default door ding repair

I just washed my car and saw a big freaking door ding on the driver side passenger door. It really pissed me off. Freaking idiots out there that do not respect other people's property. grrrrrrrrrrr

Can some one please recommend a good door ding repair place in the bay area? Thank you in advance.

Do an advanced search using keywords like "dent" "ding", etc. and filter to search NorCal section.

We had a dent removal day last year with a heavy discount and we will probably have him come back at one of the meets this coming summer. The guy we use is not local and he drives over 100 miles round trip, so he won't come unless we hold a dent day, which is also why I'm not recommending him since he is not in the bay area.
