Default Fender rolling in MD/Northern VA

All the threads are old...

Can anyone recommend someone who rolls fenders in MD/N. VA?

I need this done ASAP. I'd even meet them tomorrow if possible.

Thanks!!!!

Euro Pros in Gaithersburg. Call 301-977-7475. A little pricey, but they did mine and they're paper thin without paint cracking....

Yeah...I called Bert. His guy has to "get the tool", "talk to this guy", etc.

Too complicated.

I'm on a hot lead that Dave S. gave me.

I swapped messages with 'Zraven' on here a couple months back about this. Seems like a solid lead. And he has the tool on Tire Rack.

Some info from our correspondence:

" I charge $120 and come to your residence to do the job.

If you want to rent the tool, it's $35/day (24hours) however, I would require a $300 refundable deposit minus the rental charge. If you rent the tool, you can pick it up near Tyson's Corner mall in VA. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Mark

Indeed ghetto, but it gets the job done in most cases. I just trimmed mine instead of rolling them since I didn't need to gain that much.

Did someone say fender rolling?

Yes, I have the tools and the info posted earlier is accurate. I can only do this during the weekends.

I think you live near me in Harford County, there is a body shop right by Jones Junction called Unique Auto Body. I've talked to the guy and seen some of his work, He really seems to care about the work he does. Maybe check him out.

I'll call them...I have a quote to fix a dent just above the fender lip (it has to be fixed prior to fender rolling, it's THAT close). In addition, he is going to paint and install my Veilside V1 lip that's sitting in my dining room.

I'd like a backup quote though.

Thanks!

EDIT: Yes, I live in Fallston, just a few miles from Jones Junction.

I just called them...the guy who rolls fenders is on vacation. I explained that it's a not something that requires an estimate, that it's something that is normally is a flat cost. They still want me to wait until Monday. Oh well, my n2o kit is being installed early next week.

Looks like I've got to go with the initial quote.

I went there and asked for a cost to shave the antenna, the girls inside refered me to the owner, I don't think they know anything but it's a very clean looking shop. The owner have a silver 5 series BMW wagon with a real clean look, I see him everywhere, I know he's lives right around here. When I talked to him, he seemed pretty nice, knew what he was talking about and explained everthing he would do. Most shops just shoot you a quote and walk away.

By the way, he said $300 to shave the antenna and repaint the rear fender. I don't really know if that's a good price or not....

I'm not sure either...I have dent right above the well that needs to be pulled out. He told me that the fender will have to be repainted. Then he's going to roll the fenders and paint and install my Veilside V1 lip.

All for $550. I thought that was a good deal.

He = Tito's Auto Body in Rosedale. Near the Wagon Wheel. I might have to check on my car every day that he has it, you can never be too sure.
