Hey guys - how much of an effort or cost does it require to remove door dings from my E60.. Since I have another car in the garage, while opening the door other people ended up dinging my E60.

Check Out dent Wizrd, they are paintless dent removal. They go around from dealer to dealer and also have a shop in Schanumburg for drop in customer.

Paintless Dent Repair. Usally you can get someone to come to your home or office. $60 a panel regardless of how many dings in a panel is typical. Cash is king and sometimes you can work a better deal.

DAYM $60 per panel is a great deal, I paid $40 per ding.

It really depends on the guy, some will do flat rate while others will do per dent. Where the dent is will also affect the cost. I have a couple they could not do because they were in front of a door beam. Could not get a tool between the beam and the panel

When I worked at the dealer the guy did each car for $60

Remember the majority of these guys do it on their own.

I have never heard of $60 per panel here in Socal. That's pretty ridiculous deal to me.

Yes it was true. We had a guy with a contract with at least the three used car dealers in my area which was Anaheim. Independent guy, had a little white dog. Came at least once a week and did at least 6-8 cars each visit. Other dent guys would always want to get in on his action but not as good as he was. Just think how much one of these guys can make if they had more cars than they could handle. Too bad the average dent guy could not in a week get what this guy did in a day.

Oh and yeah he would charge more than that to a guy in the street. He did give the dealer employees the same deal though and did a couple of my cars in the past.

Interesting. Perhaps you can hook up the info

Though it probably won't be that great of a deal for me, since I only have 1 unnoticeable ding on my passenger door, and an odd ding on top of the car.
