Default I talked to a Dent Removal guy today

A guy named Mark from this place > http://www.paintlesscardentremoval.c...l-sitemap.html

Will do a door ding day for us. But I don't think, not sure, you guys will like the quote. Normaly they charge 125 1st panel and 50 all the rest. Will do for 75 the first panel and 50 all the rest. I couldn't get him to do a $25 a ding deal. But if you have a lot of dings on one panel it might not be too bad. But I told him you guys might not go for that quote but I'd run it by you anyway.
I don't know what outfit did those other door ding days because I wasn't there. but this guy seemed straight up and professional.

The place I talked to is mobile and they do more than door dings.

I thought I would give it a shot despite my backing out the other day. Nobody else seems to want to take ownership of this thing.

So what does everyone think? Yea or Nay?

Well I have 2 on my left front fender and 1 on my passenger door. So I'm automatically in the 175 region also. Still cheap considering the alternative.

any more opinions? I need to be confident to set up a date and location with him so i can post the real deal so peeps will sign up. I don't want to be calling every tom, dick or harry door ding repair guy unless someone knows who did the other deal, but that's the guy who never calls back.

I just reread what I wrote and I think it may have been confusing. It would be 75 the first panel and 50 each additional panel. Sorry if there was confusion but that is a huge difference from what it sounded like when I reread it.

A good friend of mine takes out dents. I think that he would be willing to cut a good deal, I will talk to him on Monday and see what he says. He works at the same BMW dealership that I do, I know that Fri., Sat., or Sun. would be best for him. Ill keep you posted.

Man, that is quite pricey... think I'm out on this one. The first dent meet was $44/1" dent with a 25% discount. The second was $25/dent.

Let's see what z_drifto's contact has to say...

Well, I guess I need to get a few more dings since I currently only have 1 (not in a hurry for more tho). Not a huge savings for me so I'm out unless the price comes down.

Thanks!

My friend knows the $25 dent guy. I'll be fairly busy this month, if you guys want I could set something up in March. I know we need at least 10 people to commit.

I'm there if it's anything down to under $50 for a ding . . . I just picked up one yesterday from some janky *** camry. No choice since it was the only space left.

Check it out kids, $20 a ding. Talked to my buddy today and he said he will do it for $20 a ding as long as they are not like huge "Somebody Hit Me at 20mph Dents."
He told me Fridays would be best for him but he will also do a Saturday no problem, since most of you probably work on fridays anyways. He would also like at least 10 or 15 people to commit to this. Let me know if you have any more questions. Preferrbly lets try and set it up somewhere in the Eastbay so he doesnt have to drive so far. If not thats cool too.
