Before/After Pics of Dent Removal
Hey guys/gals- thought I would share my experience with Dent Wizard. Aside from having to wait about FIVE hours, I had a positive experience with Dent Wizard. Check out the before and after pics- not too bad at all...

i believe it. i had good work done too. I think this is a better option, even if it requires drilling through the door jambs.

Sometimes, in order to do PDR, they need to drill a hole in the door jamb. then they use metal rods to "push" and "work" the dent out (they push from inside car - going out). Then they will cap the hole.

Nice job simmi. Did you go to the Leonia one and was it the same guy I told you about there? The work looks impeccable.
Two q's: 1) How much? 2) Did they drill?

Awesome! I have also had paintless dent removal done and it always comes out good as new. The dents just pop out, no drilling or any type of real work is needed and it takes like half an hour or less.

They charged me $400 for it. It was a bit high only because there were two panels to repair.
There were no holes drilled. For the quarter panel, the guy moved the wheel well liner aside and had easy access to the dent from behind. As for the door, he brought the window down (lost some of that new car smell), and slid a protective sheath between the window and door. Then, he slid this thin metal rod down the door to the site and started "massaging" the dent away. I had this done at the Leonia, NJ Dent Wizard site, which is about 5-7 min away from the GWB. I would definitely recommend this person. His name is Gaetano Bruno and I believe he's only there Mondays and Saturdays. If anyone goes to him, tell him the guy with the 330i Bimmer recommended him. While I was there, three other customers came. I saw their dents and when the repair was completed, the dents were completely gone! I couldn't believe how good this system worked! |

One thing- ask him if he wet sands the affected area after the dent is removed. If he says he does, tell him you don't want him to. He'll probably get that dent out in about 1/2 hour for about $125-$150. Good luck... |
