Recommendation for Dent Removal

Heading home from the GGR autocross on Saturday through the tunnel to Oakland and when I reached the other side there was traffic backed up. Someone was throwing large glass objects from above at the cars and of course I got hit. Now I need to find a place to remove the weird set of dents I ended up with. Any recommendations?

Sometimes I think my car has a target on it.

spyduh is infamous around these parts
I've used dentpro in the past but that was along time ago and I wasn't really happy with how it turned out on my cars. I've been meaning to try this guy here. Reviews are good and price can't be beat. http://www.yelp.com/biz/dent-discount-fremont-3

Let me know if he's any good.

No one got caught that I am aware of. As expected my ire was up and I was on my way to find the culprit and there happen to be a police car just around the corner so I stopped and they sent a couple officers to find out what was going on. Police said there is a homeless encampment there and they have problems occasionally. Filed a report and went on my way. Figured that was safer.

I will check out the recommendations given, thanks. I also realized that L&M mobile who did paint work on my car before also do dent removal. So that's three places to check out and decide. Will post back once it is done.

i have had L&M work on my car. they are great as you know.

i don't think they specialize on PDR. more like big dents when paintwork is required. if you need paintwork, i'd definitely go to L&M. Luis is class act.

I was just thinking of asking this same question since I need this as well. Got a couple of small dents that have been bugging me for awhile that i need taken care of. I'll give one of these places a call and report back how it goes.

Reporting back here for those that are interested. I finally got the dents repaired that have been on the car since I bought it. 3 small outword dents (caused from inside)on the upper part of the hood probably caused by someone shutting the hood with battery charger clips sticking up, one on the lower hood that looked like a baseball got dropped on it, and one door ding over the rear wheel arch. I ended up going with Ken at Dent-Discount. His yelp review link is provided by spyduh above and lots of great feedback there. Anyway he did a fantastic job so that I can't even tell the dents were ever there and his pricing was great. I'll post before and after pics as soon as I take some after pics to share with everyone.

Thanks for sharing your experiences NorCal Turbo..

I've subscribed to this thread, as I'm sure it will be very resourceful

- other day I parked in a way far off corner, of course some scooby doo looking van pulls right up 5" from my passenger door along the side, I'm certain the driver didn't exit from his passenger side ~ you guessed it, dinged!

I coordinate an annual DentPro Day for the PCA/RX-7 clubs in the area. Have used DentPro of Campbell for over 15 years (not sure how long, probably closer to 18 years). Roger does fantastic work. He's at 1436 White Oaks Rd, Unit 5, Campbell, CA, 408-370-9500. (No business affiliation other than coordinating the club events.)
