Default Dent Repair

Can you believe it, I've had my s2k for less than a month and there already is a door ding in it (it's small though). Does anyone have any recomendations for a dent-repair shop/person?? It's a small indentation with no paint removed. Any insight would be helpful. I don't want to just open the phone book and pull out someone's shop at random and have them make it worse.

Try John Ellis or D.J. Ellis from Dent Doctor - I had around 6 dings on one my rear panels and he got 'em all out. I think he charged me $60 to get out all the dings. He'll meet at your house(or where ever you choose). I'm not sure if he'll remember me, but I remember giving him a ride in my S2000 after he was done taking out the dings(it was about a week into getting my SC installed) so he may remember the car.

Thanks for your help. I was wondering though, once he "pulled" the dents out, was it completely seamless, or could you still see some remnants of the dent?

I'm not sure how they handle the big huge dents, but for the little dings, he had to get behind the ding and "push" it up from beneath it. They did a great job on my car - every single ding was gone and no marks were left behind.

Those dent guys do a really good job, i work at a dealership and they always come here to do our cars and they said the only time you can kinda tell is if there is a significant crease in the dent, otherwise they do a really good job and are relatively inexpensive
they took 2 outta my celica and you could never tell!
