Paintless Dent Removal
 
I'm not here to advertise or market a sale, but wanted to help those who have been a victim of a door dent or any sort of dent caused by a careless person.

It's almost impossible no matter how much you care and try to prevent your car becoming a victim of this topic, there's always someone who will be negligent to ruin your day...This is my 2nd! time getting a PDR service on my FR-S and it's quite frustrating and stressful how people don't really care about your darn property. Being a car enthusiast hurts even more after how much hours and dedication I put into the car trying to keep it looking its best. Why can't people just be respectful?! Well, I guess that will be a silly question because obviously the answer is no one gives a crap.

Anyhow, if anyone cares, hit up Shane @ All-Out Dent & Performance!
Awesome dude, and he has cured my car since dent #1. Price seems reasonable and unlike most PDR technician, no drilling is absolutely necessary unless of the worst. My FR-S was cured today from its second dent and I'm completely satisfied (he is mobile guy so he'll come to ya). My '15 FR-S came with some factory welding flaws which seems to become more prominent as I always notice something new on the car each day. The issue seems to be widely known and it has been discussed on the forum previously but the problem still persists. Even the brand new 2016 I saw on the lot the past weekend had creases and welding dents on the car...VERY poor craftsmanship. I even have the condensation problem on my taillights but decided to give up going to the dealer cause it's not the tail lights after all that's causing the problem. It's the structure of the car and how the water runs right through the channel above the unit itself. I just simply tape up the gaps between the body and the tail light every time I know it's going to rain. VERY annoying, but helped me thus far.

Got side tracked, but just wanted to help someone who is need of a PDR service. Hit me up and I can also help you get you to the man himself =)

I actually contacted Shane for a small dent on my roof and was quoting me a price that was 3X more than the dealer (dealer out sources it anyways) along with that, if there was any other damage on my car from the PDR, the dealer would be 100% responsible.

Most certainly. I really wouldn't know what an average PDR service costs, but Shane is "mobile" and dealer appointed PDR are of course done at the dealer. That's probably where the price differs. Indeed, price is important; however, if it's worthwhile I rather pay the cost than being apprehensive.

Yea, I think he told me 3 or 7 years; can't remember which.
My 1st & 2nd PDR with Shane came out perfect, and I'll definitely go back to him if I ever get another dent.

Shane did amazing work on my trunk lid few years back. He's mobile but mainly from LA. Since I'm in OC, the guy i used mostly is Mike from Ultimate Dent Removal. Mike has done more dent removal on my car. You can check him out too. A bunch of S2000 guys had a dent day meet recently with Mike. Mike and Shane are kool guys who do real good work. I highly recommend them.
