dent wizard

[Fuggly Stick]

I got a couple of dents I want to get taken out. A friend of mine works at a dealer and he recommends http://dentwiz.com/ as they do a great job and its paintless process. Has anyone have any experience with them? How are there rates?

I don't know anything about their prices, but I can tell you this.

It all really depends on the skill of the person doing it. If the person doing the dent repair doesn't know what he/she's doing, it will look like crap. It doesn't matter how good his tools are.

Hope this helps.

My first car I bought from my brother who worked at Dent Wizard. He had the car's door niks out and some minor damage from an accident. Not a sign of a dent on the car.

Do you remember how much it cost? I have quite a few little dents, and I wanna be on my way to having a completely dentless car. 8)

Well since he worked there, it was all free, so I don't know. I think typical for most paintless dent removal places is about $50 per dent. I need to get mine in somewhere, I've got some minor hail damage...

Wow, that would really add up then.

Do those DIY kits ever work? I mean, there has to be some out there that work, right? My dents are so little - I have one fairly large one on the roof, and a bunch of little ones on either side, then a fairly large one down above the rocker panels on the driver's side. Wouldn't a DIY kit work? or, are they all just gimmics?

Right after I got the damage on my car, I considered buying a $300 professional kit, most of those setups were similar to that cheesy $20 deal they have on TV a lot. I don't know if I trust myself to do that myself though.
A common trick that body shops use for hail damage is the ice water trick. Let the car sit out on like the hottest day of the year and dump some ice water on it. I've also heard of using dry ice in a circular motion around the dent, working your way in. My friend's dad sometimes uses a heat gun to get the metal warm, then uses ice. I'm not about to put a heat gun to the paint though. I tried the ice water trick last summer and it helped a little...it's hard with a white car since it doesn't soak up muc heat. As time has passed, more have worked their way out.
