  • small ding in vehicle

    I noticed there is a small ding on my vehicle. I was wondering if a auto body shop would be able to just bang it out. There's no paint damage. So they don't have to repair it. And wonder what they would charge.

    There are vendors who travel to car dealers doing paintless dent removal. Dent Wizard, a national company, has a location in Western PA, but there are competent independents out there wherever demand exists.
    Stop at one of your local dealers and ask for a referral.

        I second the Painless Dent Repair suggestion. I got to watch one of those guys work once on a hail-damaged car and it was like magic, you'd have never thought the car could be saved, but when he was done, it was perfect.

        On a ding like you showed, it will take him longer to set up his equipment than it will to fix the dent.

          I have picked up several of those on my DD that I would like to get rid of through paintless dent. Keep us updated on how it turns out. Mine looks like yours where any paint damage, if any an be reconditioned through compounding/polishing.

            I have used a local paintless dent repair shop on several occasions with excellent results.

            The first time I used them I was pleasantly surprised when the scuff mark that I thought was missing paint had been removed upon returning the vehicle - there was absolutely no evidence of the former damage to my 2 week old truck. Repair ran about $ 250 if I remember correctly but was worth every penny to me.
