to the forum. Have you tried calling your local dealership. Most dealerships have a few local PDR services on file for lease returns or damaged incurred while in for service...GL...

I use Dave from Just Dents who has been doing it for over 20 years. He won't deal directly with the general public but if you drop your car off at my facility Dave will happy to work on it for me. He is the best at what he does.....PDR!

Dealer? don't do it... I took my car to the dealer yesterday and there were 2 guys checking my car. I said to myself what's going on so I started looking around. It turns out I have a small little ding on my door that you have to really look hard to see. The estimate was $150 I looked at him like he had 2 heads. lolol Then I said listen your charging too much for something so minor you should consider lowering your prices and you may get more customers agreeing to do the work and then I walked away.

Rick..

Thanks for the replies.
So far the dealer (Hassel) wouldn't reccomend anyone. They wanted me to bring the car in for them to look at it. (Ha, not!)
I ended up at a friend's father's bodyshop and they used a suction cup to pull 85% of it out. Took 5 mins.
I'll have to work on the paint a bit, and the door panel is stretched so it's a little wavy.
The car is a lease and I'll have to deal on the return in sept.
Due to all of the excellent shots and posts I am swayed toward a 535i sport, but the 550i is still tugging at the heartstrings!

Hey just to give you some info, the going rate on a PDR repair is $150. Beats getting charged $350 to paint it.
