Paintless dent removal is AWESOME...

I just had a ding removed from the bed of my Black 06 Screw...it disappeared. This guy was awesome (Dent Wizard) it was about 2 inches away from the front edge of the bed above the gas cap....had to go in through a hole that was just behind the cab. Best $100 bucks I ever spent. Truck is 6 months old and a ding in black shows up something fierce. Just had to tell someone.

Glad it worked out.

I had one ding (shopping cart) in the front door on my truck and they wanted 600+ bucks at a good body shop.
Got PDR for 70 bucks. 20 minutes work and it is perfect.

I have a buddy that is a body guy (regular not PDR) and on a bet he could not find the spot that was fixed.
Those ding removal guys can be great.
Chris

Worked great for me, 3 dents on top of a front fender (a tree fell on it) and a door ding. Best $130 I ever spent.

Which dent wizard in MA did you go to? The one in Danvers on 114 is awesome. Jay is the in-house tech and he has been doing all my work for years. I drive 100 miles to see him when I need to.

Yep. I've heard nothing but good things about the PDR folks. My father had a 'direct hit' foul ball baseball ding removed from his roof about a year ago. They were able to remove 95% of it... not 100% because the metal stretched slightly at the middle of the impact site. Being that it was on the roof though -- it looked 600% better. I'm a big believer in the PDR guys... so much so that I looked into doing it on the side with detailing.

I'm glad to hear about this. I don't have any on my truck(yet "fingers crossed").

But I have a few on my mustang that I need to get out. And I've been wondering about this option.

Is DentPro or DentWizard any good? I'm going to shoot for it, I have had a damn dent on my hood (stretched the metal) forever. Lets see what these guys can do.

I used dent pro about a year ago and I wouldnt say it came out 100%. It was right on the crease on the passanger door. It probably was harder to take out since it was on the crease. It looks good from 5 ft but if you look at it in the light or reflection you can see there is a slight bow in it.

I was talking to the guy who did mine as he was working out the dent. He told me that a common place on these trucks as you well know KiCk *** is the ridge/crease on the lower part of the door and that that are almost impossible to get perfect. He also said that the upper doors are basically impossible to do because of the doors inner construction. Told me that he always warns owners about it before he starts.
