A small buy good group of people came out. Thank you to KurtMP3 for setting this up. It was very cool to see and brings new hope to those of you that can't stand looking at those painful door dings.

Kurt wasn't driving his car that day, but pretty cool shot.

LaserP5 aka Jose was the lucky guy....here is 1 of 4 dents fixed for FREE. Pretty typical door ding. Notice the lights used to clearly show the dents.

They don't have to dismantle panals to fix most of the dents found.

Notice that he is PUSHING out the ding. He is using the light (two thin black lines are reflected in the panel, used to properly work the dent out properly).

Any "high spots" are carefully tapped back.

Tada....the picture doesn't do it justice. We could not tell where the dings were once the circle markings where gone.

Some of the weapons they use.

They didn't have beer, but KK was a reasonable substitute.

All of those lights are used to spot dents on every part of the car.

Thanks for setting up the demo Kurt. I didn't know this type of service existed. Had I not seen these dents removed before my eyes, I wouldn't have believed it - and so quickly too! These guys are true artisans.

Hmmmmm...wasn't it something like $125 for the first dent on a panel, with every subsequent dent on that same panel costing $25. If they need to remove a dent on another panel, the first one is once again $125 with subsequent dings costing $25 (unless of course your ding is on the roofline, whereby they have to remove the roof lining in the interior of the car and hence costing you $200 to do).

TOProtege.com members get 20% discount though.


dr_&quot;wish I had come sooner - fakkin work&quot;_sarcasm.

P.S. Oh yeah, did you guys catch that they cannot remove dings along the 1&quot; margin of where the panels/hood/roof meet? A ding has to be towards the centre of a panel for their methodology to be as good as it is.

Thanks again Kurt. That one ding on the rear passenger door was really bothering me!
