Wow, thanks for doing all the legwork Stealth! I'm assuming that people read the part of thread about the pre-pay so let's see what Ed can do for us if we all pre-pay so no one will drop out. Thanks again!

 

I'm glad Stealth that you had the experience I had when my 350 was getting fixed. Thats why I had to post this and tell other fellow Z owners. I Believe Ed hands down has the best customer service than any business out there.

 

i just wondering where is it at, cuz i live in sf.
so i think i will sign up if it ain't that far.
thanks

 

If you're talking about Daland Nissan it's not that far from SF. If you can get to Tanforan Shopping Center you can get to Daland Nissan (it's just a little further on El Camino).

Kinda funny because I originally bought my 93 SE-R at Daland, 10 years later when I got my G35 I went back to Daland to see if they wanted to buy my SE-R and the guy that sold it to me was still there and remembered my old car!

 

thanks
i'll be there

Well just for the record on the last dent day I wasn't pissed that it was a dud. I'm sorry for anyone that drove from far away, and we had already packed it up. I tried to make myself clear that if everybody was done it wouldn't be fair to have me standing around for hours waiting for people to show or not show. I made every effort to accommodate club members to the best of my ability. Time with my family is very important to me and weekends are family time, so that is the reason for not wanting to stand around with nothing to do. I've always enjoyed doing the dent days for you guys. So no hard feelings here. Now as far as that HACK Ed Vandine, I wouldn't let him touch even a match box car Just kidding Eddy and I go back many years together and you're in good hands. If this things gets to big and Ed needs some help let me know. I'll be happy to help out.

 

so how much you're going to charge per dent now? also, location, date, time?

 

No biggie. I think the main thing was that there wasn't a stated time on how long you guys were going to be there, and I showed up at what I thought was a reasonable time (11:00am) and Yellow Stealth showed up at 10:00am but I guess you guys were already done. But I totally understand about just standing around not knowing if anyone else was going to show - no point to it.

That said, I'm hoping that this time we can do a prepaid thing and setup a time frame so both sides are clear and covered. I'll let Ed chime in on how many people is a minimum requirement, cost, date, and time. I'm assuming Daland Nissan is still cool with us showing up there?

More details to come.

 

Hi Guys, Sorry it took so long for me to post on your site. I am very excited to meet all of you soon.
Just to give you a little back ground, I have been a PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) Tech for a little over 10 yrs. now. All though our industry has grown tremendously in the past several years there are still very few technicians in the bay area that are able to deliver on the Quality & Service that you all must want for your beautiful cars.
Unfortunately, I can not match Chrissy's $25 Dent day. I am willing to offer you a very substantial discount from my retail pricing template. My standard pricing is as follows:
(A) 1" Dent = 100
(B) 2" Dent = 130
(C) 3" Dent = 160
(D) 4" Dent = 190

The first largest dent is full Price and any additional Dents are 50% Off.

For your "Dent Day" at Daland Nissan in Millbrae I can fix your (A) size dents for $50 each. For larger dents ("B","C","D") I am very flexible with my pricing but really need to see the damage first.
Let me know what you think and what date you would like to meet and I will talk to the owner of Daland Nissan (John) and make arrangements.

Thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to being a 350Z owner in the very near future if all goes well.

 

i have 3 small dents on my passenger side door that i would like to fix. let me know the time and location and i'll be there.

 

Indierock, I will let all of you figure out what weekend date works best for the group. If you would like service right away please feel free to contact me direct at (650) 222-5582. Thx, Ed

 

cool will do. I probably need til the end of the month to get this done but i'll keep you posted.

I had a few P.M's asking how Ed and I know each other. He and I have worked together years ago and he's always looking how to provide the best for customers. He is very much a top notch guy who always does 110%. I have always respected him for his work ethic and drive. So you're lucky if you can book him. Remember you can find cheaper, but it just won't be the same.

 

yike..$100. I'll pass.

 

Chris (Diablo Dents), we appreciate your professionalism. None of us have any issue with you.

At the first dent day I went to, you did excellent work on my car. The second time, I was one of the guys who did not make it until 10am, after you had left, and I totally understand you could not just sit around considering the unfortunate low turnout.

I think there are enough of us in the bay area needing dent work that we can definitely use both you (Diablo Dents) and Ed (Quality Dents). For us SF and peninsula people, driving all the way to Pleasanton early on a weekend day is not easy, just like it won't be all that convenient for East Bay folks to come up to Millbrae for this dent day.

I know from personal experience that you both do great work. Ed had nothing but good things to say about you. It is nice to see the respect you have for each other.

 

That being said, please copy the info below each time you had your name to the list:
