Dentevo .com - Joe Garcia, you can find him on yelp in Claremont, CA. He is based in the inland empire but is willing to travel as well. Reason why I use this guy is because not all PDR technicians are as delicate / meticulous with their work. Another guy that has done flawless work but far from me is Alloutdent .com - he's based in SFV / LA area.

It's gotten to the point where I trust Joe so much I don't even see him; I just leave my car unlocked and he works on my car while I'm at work, then he bills me.

Called up Joe and man, I guess he used BMW M pricing. $200-275 for a relatively small dent not on a crease in the middle of the door that he said he could access from the window opening. I hate it when people jack up prices based on the car. I'm NOT driving a Ferarri here. I was ready to pay $150 but $200-275 seems a bit high for 1 dent in an accessible panel. Thanks for the referral tho!

The rates are pretty incredible considering it's purely labor. This is great for someone who has ocd.

I park in the farthest corner literally everywhere I go. Passengers get annoyed af but I'm not dealing with dings this car is too aesthetic lol.

Also I feel like when you reverse park in a far corner kinda people get the idea that you don't want to be parked next to, but there's always that 1 idiot

Sorry to hear, he also quoted me higher initially until we met in person. Discounted me every single time without me asking - but I get it, hope you find someone cheaper that provides good PDR. Another guy I used was Shane from alloutdent based in LA / SFV. I would say both these PDR guys aren't on the cheaper end of the spectrum. However, with PDR a lot of times you get what you pay for. Not always of course, its a skillset that has to be learned over time.
