Lots of people have had good experiences with them in Calgary, after our summer of hailstorms!

Wow that's pretty amazing.

Pretty impressive, almost magical and fun to watch them do their work. I respect true craftsmen, no matter what line of work they are in.
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

Had the left door dent(s) finally repaired today. The fellow came out to the house and spent an hour at massaging three dents in total, and fixing some paint chips. Very impressed. $125 all in.

I think it depends how deep it is...someone keyed the passenger side door, pointless did a decent job but because the scratch was fairly deep, guy warned me that process may not work. I was happy, but if I am really looking for that specific scratch I can still see it depending on how light shines, etc. Most people can't notice a thing though.

That PDR thing is really cool but you need to really know how to do it.
a friend of mine got his car ruined by some wiseguy that was supposed to know what his doing.
ended up replacing the whole door.
I had it done by a good friend to a grey metallic caddy and it looked really awsome, he used hot glue and some wierd plastic pullers
and a color striped led lamp to check that the paint is flat.

Does anybody have experience with a company in Ottawa?

double bump for Ottawa

have a dent on the lip of the right rear fender on the Alfa, and need someone who is damn good at the PDR thing
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

This guy is my leading contender:  www.dentfix.ca

If he's been doing it since 2002 he's gotta know what he's doing.

Auto Dentist is an amazing name.  Would go with him just because of that.

I thought it was $100 a dent , maybe get a group buy with the Ottawa group to repair a bunch of dents
Whoever Endras uses did amazing job on two dents on the RX
I was funny watch a guy repair rims in the parking lot of Lexus dealer, he had a carvan with this huge compressor in the back , and a mechanics chair

haha! damn you obama...

yeah, my rate is now closer to the 100 mark... so makes sense that retail price went up.
