08/27/06 - Dent Day
#111
i was charged $60 for 2 dings on my accord. one was the size of a thumbtack, and the other he couldn't even get out 100%. i got home, walked out of my car and around to the front and noticed that i can still see both dents.
not 100% satisfied since he couldnt fix both dents and told me "i'll ONLY charge you $60", but still cheaper than any other shop.

I was the last one he worked on and he only charged me $25 per dent. In fact he fix my door panel that had 4 mini dents for $50. But before he worked on each dent I asked him how much he would charge me... Maybe he charged based on how diffcult the job is?

I was the first car he worked on at 8:30am before most of you showed up. He charged me $35 and I too was told that he had to drive an hour out there to work on our cars. He was a nice guy and I assumed he was charging me based on the type of dent and it never crossed my mind that he was ripping me off. But if others were receiving the same rate across the board then he might of been jacking up the prices.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bagging the guy - the work was decent and the price was still really good.

i was there at 8:30 or earlier.. 3rd or 4th car..silverstone.. he charged me 25 each..but he did mention to another member that if the dent is bigger it will cost more..
but if he charged 35 as a base at the end of the day..thats kinda shady. maybe he had somewhere to be?
decent job tho...good price.. though he didnt quite get out one in the fender.. i can see that it looks better..but it looks like a small area of mini dents..

yah, i pretty much echo the sentiments above, but it just caught me off guard with being quoted $25/dent here and then hearing otherwise in person when he was mostly charging the $25/dent all day.
i guess what slightly irritates me is that the dents i had him fix were easy and took him significantly less than any other car out there (he finished mine up in less than 15 mins for 4 dents).
but yes, still...regardless, it's cheaper than anywhere else, but maybe if he could give out a solid system prior to working on it, that'd be better next time around.

I'm so sorry guys... I feel bad. He's always been really good in the past with our dent days. The next time I set one up I'll confirm with him exactly what and how he is going to charge.
More board drama. You know we can't live without it.

well for some of your ill informed people it's always been about 25 bucks from him on most dents sometimes he'll charge like 100 bucks for 5 dents depending on the difficulty of the dents.
if he charged 35 towards the end i dunno about that but he's always been good about his work and his price...considering dent pro will charge you 80 bucks for a small ass dimple.
