    Default Paintless Dent Repair

    Has anyone ever had any work done using this method? Any recommendations as to where to have it done? (preferably in Tarrant County, but I'll listen to other options) I've got those small hail dings on my hood that I'd like to get removed. Is aluminum able to use PDR? TIA!

    I havent used them, but I got a very decent quote for my few dings. It is a place off of Camp Bowie here in fort worth. It is just west of i-30 in the same shopping center as a pawn shop. I looked around inside while we were looking at my car, and it seemed like a place I would take my car. VERY clean, organized local owner. Let me know and I will go by and get a number for you.

    Seems like I sent somebody a PM about the guy who did my car. Can I get a little help here? The info is in Athens, and I won't be for a while.


    He works out of his garage, and did a fantastic job - more than I expected - for a very reasonable price. I went to his garage because he didn't want to come to Athens, but he goes to the customer mostly.

    Side benefit of going to his garage - I got to drool on his Pantera while he fixed my girlie car.

    I can vouch for one guy.. Runs a Shop on grapevine HWY just north of 183..

    The guy used to be my landlord for about a year (we rented his house while he was getting a dovorce)

    He does great work, and trustworthy guy... I think it was Painless dent repiar or something? I can dig up the info if you'd like..

    I'm interested in hearing about more about this guy. How do we get in touch with him? How much does he charge? Can we get a group discount if a bunch of us wanted to do it?

    Here is the guy Onething recommended to me.

    "Didn't you ask me about the guy who did my dent repair?

    I finally found the file with all the maintenance records (I'm hoping to discover many such treasures when I pack and move soon )

    Auto Dents and Dings 972 - 612 - 5000

    He will come to you, but since I live in Athens, I went to his house. He's a car guy (Pantero in the garage), very reasonable, very friendly and helpful, and a reformed IT dude!

    Sorry it took so long.

    My car was almost totalled today, b/c of the hail damage from a couple of weeks ago. I've got a check sitting here for $2800 after my deductible was taken out. New hood, new trunk, and a few dings on each of the fenders and 1/4 panels. If I were to take it to a shop and they needed to add more into the repairs, it would be totalled.
