Any paintless dent repair guys in socal?

[YDNA]

sadly, i've been a victim of assholes who just throw their doors at other people's cars and dont say a word and now have a ding on my passenger side, anyone know of a good place in socal (preferably in orange county) that isnt on the expensive side to get this removed?

You will probably be fine with a bumper doc sort of place. If they turn you away, call Rick 619-985-7437. He lives down here in San Diego, but is the best I've seen. He's worked on two of my Mustang Cobras and My FR-S.

Quick story on my FR-S. I bought the car a week ago and had an alarm put in it on Wednesday. Well, the nice man who installed the alarm decide he was going to hit my piller above my drivers side window to check the shock/vibration portion of my alarm, leaving a nice fist size ding there.

I went back to the dealer after getting an opinion from Bumper Doc and being told that they would never be able to get it perfect. The dealer brought in their paintless dent guy and he took one look at it and said, he could do it, but there would be a ripple in the paint. I was livid!! The car had less than 500 miles on it and I had owned it just over a week and the carelessness of an install guy was about to lead to my whole side of my car getting repainted! WHICH WITH A PEARL WILL NEVER BE RIGHT!!!

Then they came back and told me they had called another guy....Rick from Dent Pros to come out. I said, "Rick from Dent Pro's?" LOL! Its the guy that I had used for many "Impossible" dents on my two Cobras.

He came out and spent his time on the car. Its PERFECT! I mean perfect! No ripple and you would never know it had ever happened. The car is back to new condition and I didn't have to have it repainted! I highly recommend him to anyone who is super picky about their car! He is a perfectionist and incredibly talented!

Sorry for the rant. Once again, my "go to" came through.

I have pictures if you would like to see....I can post them after work tonight

Google "shane's fender rolling". He's in Burbank, but will meet you in between.

I remember back when I had my S2K, the Socal guys threw a few dent day meets. It was between 2005-2008. I don't remember the guy that did the repairs but he was awesome and decently priced as well.

Maybe after a year or so are cars will have enough dents to justify a meet.

I'm also interested in finding a reputable dent repair specialist in the LA/OC area. Got a few dings near my side fenders that annoy that crap outta me ahaha. That guy from San Diego sounds amazing but I don't know if I wanna drive all the way there for that.

Only one door ding so far, but it is bugging the s**t out of me. Gonna give Rick a call when I'm finally done obsessing over it. Thx.

You can also try Tony "The Dent Dude" in San Diego:

He's even come to my work and worked his magic. Been using him for nearly a decade and his work is always flawless. He did a lot of work on my S2000, Lexus, and Mazda.

I wonder how much of this can be straightened out




Yeah that's the asshole that backed into it.. I was in the car at the time.. Anyways.. The body shop wants to cut the panel off.. The estimator says they can pull it, I took the inside panel off and pushed a lot of it out, polished up the scratches and took off the white paint from his bumper.. I don't want the panel cut, and I really don't want a bunch of holes drilled or the pins welded on and it pulled and hammered and then body filled smooth.. If someone that knew how to work with metal could just get it closer I'd be fine with that.. If not.. Idc really.. I'll just drive it around till I fix it one day

My guess is they'd say no..but you can shoot them a picture and they could tell you. Any time there is a crease in the metal it makes it much more difficult.
