Curious if any of you guys know a reputable shop or person that does all your dent pulling needs? I have a ding I need some fixin' on my driver's side door. Price isn't a huge factor, quality is. Thanks people.

Bump, I would like to know as well. I'm going to stop by RJ Paint and see if they have any recs.

I'm not in your area but check your yellow pages under auto body repair. That's how I found my shop here in Tucson.

How bad of a dent is it? If its a soft enough dent and you have a strong suction cup you might be able to pull it out yourself. I've used my gopro mount a few times to pop out a couple dents on my truck, but never on my brz.

I'm going to need one as well for a few dents that are like a quarter size. I've tried the GoPro mount.. Doesn't really work unless it's a big dent.

PMok · 08-02-2013, 10:04 PM

ok, I went to RJ and they quoted me $1500+ for repairing my damage.

It's unfortunately part of the rocker panel/body and not something you can replace so it will require lots of labor to repair.

for dent removal he suggested Diablo Dents, but sounds like that is not going to work for my situation.

Justin is very reputable. He did my old s2k multiple times during dent days held on the s2ki forums. I've seen him do some pretty amazing dent removals.

I'm going to give this a shot

Hey guys. I signed up on the boards just to give another vouch to Justin (West Coast Dents). He recently fixed a nasty dent on my S2000 and I thought I'd share the before and after pictures. Notice that the dent is right on the crease and he managed to fix it pretty darned well. Worth every penny IMO.

Dimples Paintless Dent Removal fixed a dent in my hood today. I'm just realizing that I should've taken a before/after picture but i forgot. Anyway, he drove to San Ramon to my work and fixed a dent in the side of my hood, where the line that kinda protrudes up in the side, in around half an hour.

He did a really good job, and now i don't have a dent in my hood.

Anybody try diablo dents yet? I'm tempted I have a small dent on my hood just where the two lines end on my right side and two small dimples on my door, if it works out for someone let me know I'll check them out.

Late reply, but I called Diablo Dent to do a PDR on my mom's Impreza. ~40 minutes, $90, the dent is 98% gone (still slightly visible under the right angle/lighting if you're looking for it). Very nice guy, too.

damn. just got a ding right above my gas cap while I was gone on vacation. Time to check these guys out...

We should get a dent day going sometime after winter. Maybe we could all catch a break in price.
