Just wondering what a reasonable price for dent removal is. Also, do they charge by the dent, or how does that work? I have 3 i need taken care of two decent door dings and on minor one. Wondering about paintless and non-paintless. The two larger ones are scratched to, but if it's too expensive then I may just try some of that nissan touch up spray.

If the dent is the right size you can get it out with a plunger, so try that first.

Ah, those are probably too small then. Sorry I couldn't help more. PS, have any of you guys seen that infomercial about the dent remover? Something like 2 suction cups, then you glue something and unscrew it and it supposedly works. My mom has one of those, and it works great!

Actually I already bought that but I've heard that it has a tendency to make dents too. ive been waiting on a way to test it first before i use it on 'the sweetness'

I had dent wizard get rid of a small ding on my rear fender. It cost 90$ and it was well worth it. Just make sure its a reputible guy. The dealer where I took mine wouldn't let the local guy do mine so they had a guy come in from their western office. Do a search on yahoo for dent wizard and it will guide you through the rest of the way.

I get very mental about dents or scratches and I notice everything. After dent wizard I couldn't find any evidence of a dent.

One of the many places that perform paintless dent removal. They use special tools to remove dings and dents in cars from inside the fender/door, ect.

Do a search on Yahoo for "paintless dent removal" There are alot of different companies that do this.

Anyone know of a good place for PDR in the DC area...preferable on the Northern Virginia side of DC? I tried doing a search on it but only got returns for PDR training and PDR tools (like Pops-a-dent). I also tried to go to Dent Wizard but they're site is down.

Ah Richard, I moved here to Pittsburgh FROM SoCal, LA, Venice Beach to be exact.....wish I COULD move back there! LOL But hubby hates the city, the people and the traffic....oh well. If I was still living there rest assured I wouldn't be affording the Z w/ the rent I was paying in VB!!! The old Eclipse Turbo would still be in action!

Here is a pic of me hanging out infront of a few of my fav. homes on the beach in Venice....the purple one is awesome!
