Default Found a panitless dent removal guy!!!

So i've been looking for someone who does this type of work for a few months but i had no luck and then a few days ago i was on my way to the store and i saw a truck that said dentwizard, so i chased him down and he told me he would do the work for 200. the chevy dealership wanted to charge me 550, and this crappy dealer by my house wanted to charge me like 300, but they were gonna sand it and blend in the paint but i didnt want that, anyways i think this is a nationwide company, they're website is www.dentwizard.com and if u live in or around houston call this guy Patrick Bolch @ 281-788-3475. i'll post picks of the b4 and after i think ima do it in like 2 weeks...

Dent wizard rulz!
I used them here in Daytona, wifes 300M was in a bad hail storm.
I thought it was totaled, every inch of every panel that faced the sky was damaged. Allstate said $10,000 in damage but my body shop guy told me about Dent wizard. The guy at Dent wizard said $2,500 and guaranteed the work for as long as I owned the car. Got it back in about 3days and DAMN!
You can't tell there was anything ever wrong. It looked perfect!
You will be impressed.

A few years back we bought a 86 Iroc with ~18k miles on it, sat in a garage for the last 10 years, and the people had knocked into it while it was under teh cover, and the whole passenger side, door fender and rear 1/4 were dented right down that line on teh turd gens side. So we took it there for like 500 bucks and you couldn't even tell it had been done. They do amazing work your gonna be happy with it.

PM me some info on that turd gen of yours...

Another vote for Dent Wizard. I used one here in Indy, and he did an awesome job. He let me watch him take the dent out, and that's some pretty amazing work.

You must either have one hell of a big dent or a shitload of small dents all over your car?

The Dentwizard in my area of PA charged me $75 per panel to remove as many dents as there were in that panel - didn't matter how many, 1 or 100.

GUN5 - by the looks of your quarter dent a Dentwizard should have no problem getting that out. It is easily/readily accessible from the inside and is not near/adjacent to any body creases. I had one slightly smaller than that removed from my T/A after a woman left her shopping cart full of bushes go in the parking lot of Lowes into the side of my car AS I was setting in the car!

I'm quite sure that if I hadn't been there she would have left and not said anything and I would have had to pay instead of making her pay. She actually tried to pawn it off at first as being Lowes responsibility because it was thier cart and parking lot?!??

As long as you get a guy that really knows what he's doing - the DentWizard is the way to go.

I have 2 or 3 small dimples in my quarters. I think these are from not having SFC's and doing a bunch of WOT runs but I'm wondering if these guys can get them out after I put my SFC's on. They are all right above the wheel wells. You only notice them when really looking for then but they do bug me.

Can't speak for all of them but;

The very first time I met up with my Dentwizard it was thru the GM dealership. He probably spends 3/4 of his time thru out the week travelling around to the different dealers fixing dents for and thru them.

He does have his own private shop also - which is where I went the rest of the times I had dents fixed.
