Depending on the size of the dent, it can take 5-20 minutes.

What if it rains on Saturday? Do you have an large enough garage for us to take turns to get our dings removed in doors? Is there going to be more than one dent removal rep since were going to have 40+ cars?

I might be able to buff that out for you denpending on how bad the scratch is. Since that's not what I really do, no charge, but feel free to tip.

All,
I’ve been getting a lot of emails and PMs asking if the price would hold if they miss the dent day. The answer is YES!

For those missed my first thread at i-club, here is a re-cap. I have recently been trained and certified by the Ding King on Paintless Dent Repair and using their specialized PDR tools. As some of you might know, it’s much harder than it looks. It requires A LOT of experience in working on dents before becoming a pro (retailers).

You should expect ~$90 for a 1-in dent and 90%-97% perfect from the retailers, and ~$30-$40 for every inch bigger. Right now I charge $25 for 1-2 in dent and at ~70%-90% perfect. So that price will stay until I can always get above 90% perfect. Also, if you miss the dent day, feel free to make an appointment with me. I’ve been doing mostly that for the past month.

Keep in mind that PDR can’t fix everything. Make sure you read the “Yes and No with PDR” in my site. Or you can just ask me at the dent day to see if it’s possible. Please clean the spot where the dent is at. I need maximum reflection for the repair to work

Realistically, even if I do dents from 8-5 none stop, I can only get to 20 dents max if I don’t eat. But also remember not everyone is there for the dent repair. Here are some hard/time limitations:
- No less than 2-in away from the edge
- No BONDO
- No paint crack, chipped, scratches, or any kind of paint damage
- No more than 2-in in diameter
- No hood, trunk, roof, and rear qtr panels
- No white cars (Very hard to see. REALLY SORRY! )
- No aftermarket paint
- No body line dents

There will be a signup sheet that day so it’ll be a first come first served thing. Sorry, because if I do the list now, unless people show up in that order, the list won’t work. Since there are two threads going on (i-club and 350z) if you would please signup through my site so people can have an idea how many people are getting dents done. Last thing we want to do is to disappoint you.

Just show up and enjoy the party even if you can’t get your dent done that day. SubyDude and crew have A LOT to offer as well. After all, how can you say no to FREE food!
Remember, future appointments are welcome! And prices will hold as mentioned above!

Please direct all questions to me at leo.chan@stupiddent.com or here.

Leo Chan

There is just going to be me... unfortunately... There won't be a garage, but a tent if it rains...

Remember, if you don't get your dents done that day, you can always schedule an appointment with me for a later date.

Yes, as my previous post stated. The price will hold until I can always get it above 90%.

BTW, for some reason I don't always get an email notification on this... (Sorry about my late replies on this thread) If you want to set up an appointment, feel free to eamil me or submit it through the website.

from the dent dude:

All,
I’ve been getting a lot of emails and PMs regarding the dent day and pricing. People are asking if the price would hold if they miss the dent day. The answer is YES.

For those missed my very first thread here at i-club, here is a re-cap. I have recently been trained and certified by the Ding King Training Institute on Paintless Dent Repair and using their specialized PDR tools. As some of you might know, it’s much harder than it looks. It really requires A LOT of experience in working on dents before becoming a pro (your local retailers).

You should expect ~$90 for a 1-inch dent and 90%-97% perfect from the retail stores, and about $30-$40 more for every inch bigger. Right now I charge $25 for 1-2 inch dent and can get about 70%-90% perfect. So that price will stay until I can always get above 90% perfect. Also, if you miss the dent day, feel free the make an appointment with me. I’ve been doing mostly that for the past month.

Keep in mind that PDR can’t fix everything. Make sure you read the “Yes and No with PDR” in my site. Or you can just ask me at the dent day to see if it’s possible.

With that said, I would prefer to work on smaller dents, dark color cars, and front fenders and doors. They are easier and faster since we have so many people. Please clean the spot where the dent is at. I need maximum reflection for the repair to work

Remember, appointments are welcome!
