Default PDR repair....anyone had it done?

Thinking of having some PDR work (paintless dent repair) on my 98SC. Would like to know if any forum members have had PDR repair work done, where they happy with the results and what was the bill? Anyone know of a good PDR tech/guy in SW Houston?

I had a PDR job just done. there was a dent about 6" across in my pass door with a couple creases in it. paid 150 and it looks as good as new Worth it if you can avoid conventional dent removal.

had it done plenty on all types of cars. to show how it works my body guy friend took a screwdriver handle and put a dent in my car. i was like wtf. the he showed me how its done. he got rid of it in 5 minutes. it works great...but the tool and the work is only as good as the skilled craftsman. if yo get it done go to a reputable guy.

anyone can spend the 2000 bucks on the kit to have the dents removed. no many can actually perfect it

I was going to have mine done at the last show I went to, but b/c I didnt have a jack for him to get access through the wheel well, I couldnt have it done Most of the jobs I've seen from reputable shops have been flawless though. Definitely worth it if you can have a well known guy do it.
