PDR Guy in tri-state area

9M71 · 07-30-2020, 09:39 PM

Didn't click the foam canon in all the way and launched it at the car. Got 2 penny sized dents now on the rear passenger door as a result

Anyone have a good PDR recommendation in the tri-state area? TIA!

Buy a $50 ish PDR kit off Amazon. They're simple as all hell to use and it will not only save you money in the short run, but in the long as well.

I did this on a very oddly places door ding on my rear fender a month ago.. got quoted $400+ by all the local PDR guys who said they could make it look "better", so I planned a DIY... now, this was always a short term fix bc I plan to take it in for 100% full body work, but for the 50$ and 20 minutes of my time... it looks 90% better, and Im able to not puke when I look at that spot of my car.

I'm all for DIY, but this may be way out of my league in trying to get at least 99% perfection haha. Out of curiosity, did you use the glue on kits or the normal pdr ''push" kits?

Will do! Reached out to Bruno @ Dent Wizard and waiting for a quote/schedule a time. Decided against the DIY route for the M. Might try a DIY kit on the DD though for fun.

Lol it is a coincidence. Bruno helped me before, the dent was vey hard to fix since it was right on the body line but he managed to make it like nothing ever happened.

timhatimay · 08-05-2020, 06:48 PM

Bruno also fixed a few dents on my F80. He did a great job, managed to save the PPF, and you can't tell where they were. The shop isn't fancy, but I was very please with the results.

I did the same thing OP a few years back. Sucked. I used Omar the Dent Guy. He has done a few different "jobs" for me over the years. He's mobile

I'm a big diy guy and I tried this. Not for me, gotta get the pros to do this job. It's an art.

9M71 · 08-15-2020, 04:59 PM

Quick update. Had my appt with Bruno today and could not be more pleased. Bruno was able to accommodate a 730am appt so that I could still proceed with weekend plans as normal. All in, the 2 dents came out in less than a hour and the price was extremely fair (as quoted via email) and work product was flawless. Will definitely be back in the future for all my PDR needs. It's harder nowadays to find honest folks who have perfected their craft and he's definitely one of them. Thanks for the recommendation!

A before (2 dents above rear door handle, one of which was quite "sharp") and after.

CYANiDE · 09-02-2020, 06:01 PM

Just got Rob (got_dents on IG) to take a few out. Excellent work and he’s an awesome guy to talk to.
