Paintless Dent Removal

Has anyone here had this process done before? I would like some feedback on the quality of the after effect. Also any recommendations in or around NYC?

I parked under a effing tree and woke up to this:

PDR will pretty easily take out the dent on the left side of your picture, but the one on the right going over what looks like a fender crease - that's gonna be tricky.

That's the one I am worried about. Bitch is right on the crease. It's not that deep and the paint has not cracked or chipped. I sent the picture to 'NYC Dentwerks', let's see what they say.

Call Bruno, hes out of nj. Does a great job. I'm attaching a picture of his contact info. A lot easier for me lol.

Highly highly highly recommend. I've seen him take out plenty of crease dents. Let me know how it works out!

I used it on a previous car. Creases are tough. So is the aluminum hood, allegedly.

But you really have nothing to lose but your money, and it is way cheaper than any alternative.

I saw Bruno do a job on an X6 right on the crease on the door. Apparently there's some sort of bar behind that which makes it nearly impossible to fix.. But bruno was able to do it. Have faith!

Any independent paintless dent removal man will get it done. They're wizards when it comes to stuff like that! As Naz quite rightly says-have faith. Thats how they keep a living-reasonable costs and being excellent at what they do, not to mention having people recommend them. :cool:

I've had stuff done by these guys in the past and when they've finished you wont believe your eyes, I'm seriously in awe of these chaps. GL :thumbup:

Keep in mind that metal stretches when the ding happens, and also when the PDR tech is working the area. That's going to be one tough muther to get out especially since the crease is so pronounced.

A good PDR person should be able to get it out. We had a massive hail storm come through Stephenville where I went to school a couple years ago and the body shop I worked at rented out one of our buildings to a guy and it was incredible to see what he could do and how fast it worked. He did a suburban that got pelted on every single panel in a matter of like 6 hours and not a single crack in the paint or even a ripple in the texture. It really is amazing what they can do.

Good looking on the info Naz. Bruno said "it can be done" and I have scheduled an appointment for this Saturday. And the best thing about it, he quoted me $250 for both panels. I will update the thread once it's fixed. :thumbup:
