Dent Wizard

anyone have experience with paintless dent repair? if so what are the going rates? i have 3 dents in my roof about 2" in diameter and 3 dings from a run-a-way shopping cart right behind my gas filler.

Paid $75-$150 per dent. I had 2 door dings $75 each and one the size of a golf ball cost $150 total $300. The work looks great can't tell, this was in the Boston area.

About 5 years back my M Roadster had a 2-2.5" dent on the driver's side door when I picked it up from being serviced. Another customer had parked next to it and hit it opening their door.

Even though the dent was in a very obvious spot it could not be detected anymore after the paintless dent repair - I was very surprised (and needless to say happy with their work). I can't help you with costs as I made the dealer cover the repair.

It works great if there is not a crease in the metal. There are some dents that they can't fix all the way and they sometimes crack the paint while trying. A reputable shop will tell you this before they take the job. If you have some dings, I would def. try paintless dent removal as a first step. It's cheap and fast and when it works its better than a body shop.

The guy I used did excellent work (Dr. Vinyl)....my whole passenger side fender on my old 2G was backed into by my father in law. It was crushed in pretty good but they were able to fix it back to damn near brand new appearance.
