Default Paintless Dent Removals

Anyone here had experience with getting dings out of their cars. I'm looking to get some of these dings out of mine. Anyone had a shop they recommend going to to get things done. I want to make sure i find the right place to get it done cuz i have heard some bad stories about people's paint getting pulled out at the same time.

Hey guys... I just had a great experience with getting my car paintlessly dent pulled by California Dent works. Ted the owner, did a great job on my car and a few other cars from the S2000 club. The car looks flawless now thanks to Ted. I really recommend him if you guys have dents needed to get pulled out.

Ted at California Dent Works does the work mobiliy, but since I got the s2000 club go'n, we did it at his house over in Pleasanton, He gave us a group rate of $50 a panel which was an awesome deal. The dents on my car were up to a quarter size, I probably had like 30 little knicks on my S2000. He helped some other guy pulled out dents that were tennis ball sizes. After it was all done it looked like new again.

You could check his site out:

The $50 / panel was a group price which I had like 7 people doing it together. Give him a call and tell him that Eric w/ the S2000 referred you... maybe he can hook you up with a good deal. As for the key scratches he doesn't do much of the detail type job. But definately an excellent job for the dents tho.
