Need recommendations - Hail Dent Repair Shop

I knew I shouldn't have bought this car while I was still in college...

Mother nature must of had PMS last night, as she saw fit to grace me with 5-6 medium size hail dents on my roof and hood.

What shops have you guys had good experiences with?

Aluminum doesn't have the memory that steel does so it takes a much more skilled PDR tech to get it massaged out correctly. From what I've seen from Richard so far I'd let him give it a go.

USA Dent Guys - John Carmody is another great source. His company contracts a lot of the dealership hail damage jobs in DFW. I have personally had him do work for me 2 or 3 times and he is a perfectionist.

Acree, just curious, about what size was the hail in your area? My car got hit too last night, but they were like marbles, at largest. I can't find any dents so I think I may have lucked out.

Good luck getting it fixed. I have heard nothing but good from Trade Secret so far, but have no first-hand experience with them.

Marble to golf ball sized. There are over 10 spots on my trunk alone. It's real sh!tty. I called StateFarm this morning. I'll see what their claims rep says.
