Recommendation for GTA PDR? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Edit: looks like the area affected has to be glue pulled. Anyone know any mobile PDR that can do glue pull? Thanks!

Hi all - wondering if anyone has any personal experience with PDR shops in North York / Markham? I've got the tiniest dent on metal just above passenger window - noticed whole giving it a wash today. Doesn't bother me much but it does catch the light. It's really minor and I really have no idea what could have caused it.

What should I be looking to pay for this kind of work? It's really just large enough to be noticeable.

Thanks!

New detail added to op... if anyone has experience with anyone who does mobile glue-pulling method, please advise!

Not sure about glue pulling method, but have you contacted Thilian at Dent Xpress in Mississauga? He removed a nasty fender dent for me a few months ago. Can't even tell it's there other than when it's wet and you can see the part where he buffed out the CQuartz Finest I had on there. Fair prices and good work. I would contact him at the very least to see what (if anything) he can do.

I had a quarter size dent (no paint chipped or scratched) right over my driver side door. I had a mobile PDR guy that I know come to my house and pull it out and tap it back down. You would never ever know it was there (even my detailer said he did a great job of not marring the paint while tapping it down). He charged $80 I believe and took about an hour. He's in Milton though but it maybe worth the drive. However there are a lot of PDR guys around that I'm sure could do the same type of job for similar price.

This sounds like the type of guy I need to make a visit to my place. Does he conduct business for rest of GTA? Anyone with a mobile guy to recommend? I contacted a mobile shop today but mentioned that he can only do glue pull at his shop.

i am looking to fix 6 dents on my car not caused my me.
i have a place i'm planning to use. maybe we can get a group buy going.

ive come to the conclusion that our panels are too soft so they dent very very easily. i'm OCD about my car so i notice the faintest of dents in the rear quarter above the wheel flaring back in, on both sides slightly, also the c pillar, the door is a given it is weak as bread...

a gf or passenger just pressing on that portion can dent this car...

pm me or post here if u want to get it fixed together i'll inquire about a cheap rate

I got a dime sized chip on my front fender, also interested in getting this Fix before salts come around.

@ecdragon down for a group deal

Thanks for organizing.

I should mention mine was a bit pricier, but this is because it was right on a body line. I dropped it off in the afternoon and picked it up after work. Again, spotless work for a body line dent.

I can vouch for Thilan @ Dentxpress, http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44416, that dent is gone (just a spiderweb looking crack which is barely noticeable at the bottom bumper). He had to do glue pull because it's by the gas tank, and usually all car has a sealant around the area so he couldn't put his tools in there to pop it out. I was happy with the service, about $180 cash?

The other dent place (Dent Doctor) I went to said they couldn't do it because of the sealant, I guess they didn't have tool for glue pull or didn't think they could have done a good job.

Maybe I'll wait for spring and give this guy a try. I'm guessing he's not mobile?

Cheers.

Canehda · 11-08-2014, 09:08 PM

I'm going to vouch for T from Dent-Xpress as well… I had someone slam their door into my drivers side door and caused so much damage that i was actually recommended to replace the door, T thought it would be tricky but do-able… it took him only two hours and my friend couldn't even tell where on the door the dent was originally!

Basically a big +1 for T(gillian), but I'm sure its a bit of a drive to mississauga tho….

I also had some more major bodywork done at "Chipmasters Markham", I don't know how their PDR is but they were very good to work with and they did a very quality job.
