There is a fender rolling machine, which you can find on eastwood.com It will do a nice job if used properly.

I got mine done at Autoexplosion (body shop) in Gardena.

Where are you located?

Here are some places i would recommend:

-www.citytireonline.com (tire mounting and balancing place in South Gate that also rolls/pulls fenders)
-VIP AutoSalon in Orange
-Platinum VIP in Irwindale


You really should search these things, I've seen tons of threads with people asking this exact question

I was going to need to do some rolling too when i got my alignment, luckily i dont rub. Not sure where to get a fender roller at or to rent one..

don't try a mallet and heat gun
i was doing it to my rear and brian got sick of my slow pace and grabbed it and started banging the fender and it chipped a little of my paint.. it worked but i decided not to do it.

There's a guy doing the whole car for $60.. That's cheap! He uses all the right tools. I think he's in woodland hills. I got his info if you're interested.

I just had all 4 corners rolled by this dude. The rear was rolled and almost an inch pulled.
His name is Albert. He is well known in the 240SX & Subaru scenes since 2008. He does it in the front of his garage.

Check out his work:

He does a VERY clean roll. He takes his time to get the job done right in the first time. Because once you start rolling your fender, there's no way to undo the work.

PS: He is actually fully booked until June. There's a long waiting list. I was lucky today because the other guy cancelled.

OH! I've been trying to find Albert. My friend did his TL with him and he has done an excellent job. But I heard he's been MIA lately...well. I'll wait then.
