Default Oops! Need good paintless dent guy in ATL

I was trying to get the Ducati out of the garage yesterday and managed to put a ding in the right front fender of the 993. Added a few new vocabulary words for the neighborhod kids.
Anybody know of a really good paintless dent guy in Atlanta.
All the careful parking way the hell out in parking lots and I manage to ding my own car in the garage!

Been the there, done that. Go ask the dealership, they always have a guy who knows his stuff.
Expect to pay $100-150. Chris

If you go to the Nalley Lexus parking lot on Mansell Rd (next to the Henessy Porsche). There is a truck that is always parked there with a sign that says "Spectrum" or something like that.

They are the ones that take the dents out for Lexus and also take care of small paint issues with bumpers for them right there on the parking lot.

I have taken my Audi and my wife's Lexus to them to get dents out and have done a great job. The most I've paid was $75 for one dent that required them to do some touch up and had to match my Dolphin Gray color.

OK I'll answer my own question here. The aforementioned dent is GONE. If anyone in ATL needs a dent/ding removed call Mike Holbrook at 770-356-7102. This guy is a magician... he makes dings disappear.
The dent on my car was about 3.5 inches long and 1/4 inch deep just above the front right well arch. I figured that the repair could only do so much. Under daylight you can't see it at all and under artificial light there is just a faint trace (and I am very picky) Mike tells me to give it a week to let the metal settle out and he will hit it agian if necessary.
He also fixed the 2 small dings in the top of the fender from the bike's mirror, and did a ding in the hood along with one on top of the left fender. All fixed for $200.
No association other than being a very satisifed customer.

Glad to hear it's all better now...especially since you recently had the color sanding done (which looks fabulous BTW)!

I can't help but think of the scene in Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase looses it in front of the kids

Does anyone know of a mobile Ding removal service? The names mentioned above are not mobile.

I had a nasty ding in my M5 caused by some brat kicking her door open into mine...went to Dent Wizard and they pulled it out perfectly. Highly recommended. Glad that your dent came out clean!

PDR and Dent Wizard are the same thing. Ask jackb911 how good he is. We did his car yesterday.
