Funny you should ask! I just had Brad pull several dents on my
Miata two weeks ago. His outfit is called Dent Performance, and
his phone number is 408-227-8031 (cell = 408-210-6922).
Brad came to my house in his truck full of tools, removed a large
dent in the rear panel plus several small "door dings," and
charged a total of $200. That's a lot cheaper than a body shop,
although I have to say that he certainly did well financially
considering that it took him little more than an hour. If I could
make about $200 per hour all day every day, I'd sure be one happy
camper! Well, it's true that I'm already a happy camper, so I
guess I'd be an ECSTATIC camper. Anyway, Brad did good work, and
regardless of how much he charged, it was still lots cheaper than
any other option except doing nothing.
The large dent was caused by a friend's exuberant (and heavy) dog
hitting my car with the side of his body after jumping over a
short fence, which is why there was no paint damage. The panel
just got shoved in. Brad popped it out from inside the trunk,
which formed a couple of dimples. He then worked those out. I
probably would have needed to go to a body shop if there had been
paint damage, and a body shop would have repainted the entire
panel before handing me a bill for about three times the amount
Brad charged.
Oh, I didn't bother to ask my insurance agent if they'd cover it
because I have a high deductible.
Hope this helps!
