Exclamation Good Paintless Dent Repair?

Hi,

I'm looking for a paintless dent repair shop or person, who's comfortable fixing this nasty fender dent (angry drunk with baseball bat, I'm told...).

Preferably in Ventura county, although I'll drive farther if it's worth it.

Thanks for the advice! I can provide more photos if necessary.

Far from Ventura County, but we southern folk use this
guy: Mike Matteson @ 714-271-0003
There are "dent day" events every... once in a while out
here too (Orange County).

Good luck with it.

Yes, Mike is really good at what he does. If you know for sure this dent can be removed by a paintless dent removal, then Mike is your guy. I will be holding another dent day more likely by the end of the month or first week in October.

Metal looks creased pretty bad and it's on the fold line of the fender.
Can't be brought back to 100% with PDR

the position and multiple angle changes in the dent itself = .....very difficult.

See the post above yours--Dreamcation is the host.

Mike charges $50 per panel (I believe multiple dents is OK).

The dent might be beyond repair, but you could always ask him. Might be impossible to reshape the nerve doing paintless dent removal.
