Default GI: Ding Removal

Hey guys,

A close friend of mine works full time for DENT WIZARD and occasionally does his own work on the side. Well he finally has time to work on my car (This Sat 6/18) and if anyone else is interested he can do a couple of extra cars also. I'm located in Queens. We can only accomodated 2-3 more cars. Anyone interested???

BTW: Since he's doing the work on the side, he will only charge for all the dings you want taken out. "Not Per Panel".

I have a dent on the rear door of my ES300 which is along the crease of the door. Can that kind of a dent be removed using PDR ? If so, I would be interested. I live in Stamford, CT and Queens is a 45-60 mins drive for me, so I can easily make it. Check with your friend if he can remove dents along the crease and please respond or send me a PM.

Thanks !

I was told that it shouldn't be a problem to repair that dent. If you can forward me a picture of door, then we can get a definate answer.

It really depends on the size and difficultly of getting to the ding (i.e. If it can be reached with his tools without removing body panels.) But For my own car I'm EXTREMELY picky and when I point out dings... He usuallly sees other small 1s that I dont pick up on and knocks them out for free. Guaranteed he will be much cheaper than going anywhere else.

Rising_Sun, I have a couple dents I like to have removed from my ES. However I have a wedding to go to this Saturday. Will your friend possibly be available for work on Sunday, June 26th? I'm going to be in Queens/Long Island that day, and would gladly stop by.

He's a real busy guy. He'll let me know next week if he's available. If not maybe we can set a nice mini-meet where we can get a few more cars.

I have 4 dings on the S500. Just a range of how much a ding costs to take out? They are not big/deep in anyway. I would appreciate if you can get me a quick estimate on SMALL dings. Im located in Brooklyn, the drive isnt to bad for me

Thanks for all the interest! Your responses have been overwhelming.

Well today was a success... We had 3 cars "undinged"....

James your car is truly amazing! Thank you for coming.

I believe 7 dings were removed from James' car, 9 dings from mine and 6 dings and 1 dent from my friend's Eclipse Spyder.

My friend (Dent Wizard) will be available Sunday June 26th if 3 or more cars are interested.

Peace.

Count me in for that date. I can make it to the Queens location anytime before 2PM. I'll post up pics of my dents on the ES later on if need be.

BTW nice pics showing the dent removal work on the SC and IS
