DEnt Removal questions
I am posting this for my father who lives out in Annapolis, MD. He is has a small dent in the door, ouch!, and is wondering about getting one of the paintless dent removal companies to take it out. Any recommendations of any good shops around Annapolis?
Here is his question:
What do people think about paintless dent removal services for a 1986 911 door panel with slight dents? What should I check the service company for?
Thanks.

I had a paintless dent removal guy take some dents out of my rear decklid. He did a great job, and I didn't have to paint. If the paint isn't damaged, I'd strongly urge you to try paintless dent repair. The worst that can happen is that you'll have to take the car in to the body shop for conventional repair. The best that can happen is that the car is fixed and no body work or painting is necessary.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I used X-a-Dent when my wife's mother backed her Expedition into my wife's Boxster. I will post his information when I locate his contact information. I made an appointment to meet him at ASG (Autosportsystems Group) where he was working on a 993. He travels around the Northern VA area. Another friend, also in MD had him remove some dings from his C2. He does amazing work.

I've heard these guys are like detail guys; hard to find but with a strong following. Also, if you can get a few cars together in 1 place they might cut you a break. I have 1-2 dings I could stand to get removed from my car in Severna Park (15 minutes from Annapolis) if you find something.

I bought my black '88 Carrera last May; it had survived 14 years with ZERO body damage. I had it exactly one week when some a$$hole knocked his bicycle into the rear fender, putting a half-dollar-size ding in it. After I was released from incarceration and therapy, I found a guy who works exclusively for the dealers in this area. He agreed to work on it and did the job for $60.00. Even knowing where the dent was, I can't find any evidence of it.
On the other hand, I've seen some work that was done by the franchise operations; some of it was good, some of it was marginal. If you know someone at a dealership, ask them who they use and you'll probably get a better job, IMHO.
