How do you fix this tiny dent??

Agent-GHQ · 11-18-2013, 05:54 PM

Stupid kids fired a metal pellet gun and it struck my side panel. Its tiny but its just annoying to see a dent. Can any experts eyes in here help as to how I can fix this? Already tried the local repair shop and I got a quote for $150!!!!

I would say any paint-less dent removal company. Otherwise you gotta take it to the shop, have it filled, prepped and painted. Doesn't seem to bad, I would look for a reputable company and have them pop it out for you, so you don't have to paint it.

I'd only trust Vince to remove that dent from inside the door panel.

Its not on the door tho. Its near the lower rear panel by the wheel. Not sure how the shop would do a PDR without tearing apart some internal panel?

OP, I recommend you take a better photo of the dent (shown how light is bent as it reflect off of the car) and where it is located on the car and text the photos to Vince (he worked on my car twice already) and ask him if it's do-able and if so, how much (should be around 90). Good luck.

There is a plug in the wheel well. This is why you want to go with a PDR guy that is an expert on our cars. He will know all the tricks. I have had two dents in the rear quarters. The first guy didnt know about the plugs and had me take my interior apart to get to it from the inside.

Dean from Taylor motorsports works out of sterling bmw in Newport Beach but I got his direct number: 949.633.0598. I'm sure he's much cheaper if you go direct.
