Default dent/ding removal/fix

Hi guys! My precious recently had an un-welcome encounter with an suv door; probably some ignorant person hurrying to the gate at the airport. Anyway, I'm left with a small but noticable dent in the rear left quarter panel.

Anyone have any recommended body shop that could pop it out? Trying to stay away from primer and stuff if possible. Thanks.

Brad Johnson from Dents Obsolete pulled out my dents about 2 months ago. ssap1 works at the honda dealership recommended Brad, and he did a good job.

give him a call 407-234-4006

As long as the paint is intact , PDR is your best bet . How big is the dent ? Quarter , half-dollar , fist ? Is there a crease ? That'd give you an idea of what you're gonna pay . I believe ssap1's dealership uses Dent Wizard , whom I'll be working for in a couple months .

Thank you both for the valuable information that I will certainly follow-up on.

BTW- luckily paint is intact and is slightly smaller than the size of a nickel and above the crease.

Nice way to introduce yourself to a fellow S2K owner.

Yeah , right ? Blanket statements like that are ignorant . Bad experience there , Yer-Slow ? Doesn't mean the company sucks as a whole . I've used DW several times and always been happy . Now I shall work for them .
Anyways , S-TO-9K , you're probably gonna end up under a $100 all told . Pricing is usually done flat-rate per panel and then the severity of the work (ding size , location , how many) will determine the final price . Your's sounds like an easy one .

I wasnt saying that to dis anyone on the forums. I work for toyota and im the manager over here and when ever they would come in here they would do a shitty job... plus we caught them not doing work and giving us a bill for it... so that is why I said that dent wizard sucks.. maybe there good where youre at... Sorry for the misunderstanding

No problem at all , brother . It was just a blanket statement that you made , and all because of one slacker DW tech . There are plenty of REALLY good guys working for DW . But , I understand where you're coming from . Hopefully you guys informed DW of his antics . He's making the rest of Dent Wizard look bad .

I've had great experience with DW in Daytona. Super nice guy, and you can't find a dent on my car. but people are people, so it totally depends on the guy you get.

Good luck!
