Dent Removal
Can anyone recommend a reputable dent removal company. The door on my freshly painted 911 had a rather unfortunate collision with the garage door track. I was pushing the car out so I could put my wife's car on the hoist and when I hit a air line the door swung open. No strikers on yet but I thought I had a strap on it.
Anyway its the passenger door, I have no interior trim in yet, glass is installed but I am willing to remove it.
I am in Wasaga Beach, I can take the door off if necessary and bring it to the Toronto area if necessary.
Also anybody have a rough idea how much my stupid mistake will take out of my already low p-car fund. Its about 3-4" vertical, not deep and no paint cracked.
Thanks,

Waiting for a response from T. Jim replied within an hour of sending off my e-mail with a rough price of 125-150 if I bring the car or door to him in Bradford. Has anyone ever actually seen the hair dryer/can of CO2 dent removal besides on you-tube. It has so many videos of people doing it and saying that it works that I am tempted to try it. Might have to dent my truck door first though to see firsthand before trying it on my 911

Shallow, gentle, non-critical dents may pop out with hair dryer and CO2/dry-ice, but I wouldn't do it on a Porsche unless you are not critical with the end result, I am also always concerned with the integrity of the bond between paint and metal after they are shocked from the temperature difference of the heat and the cold, not for me unless I'm trying to save money.
If the dent is more severe such as a door ding with somewhat sharper "shape", then real PDR is the only way to go.

I really do not think I could try it on my car after all the work I have done. It really does look simple in the videos though. PDR is the proper way and how I will be proceding

Never heard back from "T" I am going to be taking the door off in the next few weeks and drop it off in Bradford for Jim to fix. Its real hard being in the shop with this gorgeous weather. Guess tthat is why it has taken so long to put it back together
