Pdr paintless dent removal

daiisontheroad · Post by **daiisontheroad** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:10 pm

Hi I am a new member . I own a 3.0 e89 manual zed and someone gave me a ding on drivers door the size of a £1.00 coin.

I have tried a few people to have this taken out and only 1 said he might be able to get it out but he would have to drill a hole to gain access - but most probably would need spraying after. Please can someone recommend a good PDR person in my area ?
Thanks

I had one on my door and the dent tech guy said access is quite good just by removing the rubber grommets on the side of door and took it out no problem where is your dent.Sounds a bit drastic drilling a hole painting and filling

Either that or they access from the top along the window channel.

I had an inaccessible dent fixed, like in ric's post the guy glued a holder to the dent, pulled it out slightly proud with a slide hammer then tapped it back, when he'd finished I could not find where it used to be.
Can't remember the company but think it was either Dent Devil or Dent Magician

I hate car parks, I parked mine away from everyone else next to the electric car bays (thinking that their bays were wider and less chance of contact). Well one of them put a nice wee crease in my passenger door, I rang Dent wizard and the guy tried to gain access from the top of the door via the window using a wedge that inflated but no luck, he then found a hole on the inside front of the door (next to the engine bay) and managed to push the dent out, amazing! Ive had him back to remove a dent on the roof of an aluminium jag and he tried to remove one on the wheel arch of a Boxster but that didn't work because it was double skinned, the glue pull didn't work either. So not bad at a cost of £60/£70 a repair.

I live in Cardiff the ding is on the body line 2 inch approx above bottom of door - no car was parked on either side and trolleys were parked no where near. See photos

Looks like I will have to go to body shop - already discussed with 3 PDR specialists

I'm very surprised they cannot get to it by removing the grommet on the bottom of inside if door.

The PDR guy I used glued small plastic grommets to the paint which he then pulled out using a pump, most PDR people want you to send them a picture to see whether its possible to do, at the bottom of the door unlikely to get access from behind, but having said that my dent was on a double skinned wheel arch so no access from behind and he did an amazing job for £100, nb the quote to repaint the wing and blend in the paint was over 15 times that cost.

Well it cost me £19 off Ebay for this and I've had good results the couple of times I have used it

If your car wasn't so shiny it would be easier to see the dent!

(that's a compliment by the way)...

Update local Bmw spray shop will do it for £650.00 incl vat . I have sent details and photos to dent devils in Gloucester to see if he can do it - I will speak to him on Monday if he is able to do the work . Thanks for all of your continued support.

I know a guy who did a couple of dings on my Z4. Four different PDR specialists said they could not be done and would need painting.
I am convinced some of these PDR guys have just bought some kit of ebay, and just take on the dents they think they can get out easily.

This guy rocked up, and just got on with it, a true artisan. You would never know they were there, not even a wrinkle.
