Default Any dent days in the near future in the BA?

Just my luck, got a little door ding on Xmas eve on the driver side front fender. Right above the round Z logo.

So I was wondering if there are any planned dent days some time soon in the bay area?

Thanks!

Could you fill me in on what dent days is all about? Do people gather to show each other their dents or are there people who help fix dents?

Dent day is all about people with dent that want to get it remove for cheap. I had never been to any 350z dent day yet, but have been to many of the
s2000 dent day because i had own two s2000 in the past. And the dent day that was hosted by a s2000 menber, had one guy from west coast dent i believe that was the name, but he would do any size dent for only $30 per dent versus 70and up per dent from local dent shop.

Haven't heard of a dent day recently. But last time I looked, I found many recommendations for this guy who offers mobile dent repair:

Yeah, I will go to Ed if there aren't any dent days in the near future. Dent days are usually cheaper, 30-35 bucks a ding. Regular price is around 65 to 80 bucks if the ding is small.

Just came back from Ed this afternoon. Man the guy is a pro. I asked if he wants to do a dent day for us...but he declined because all dents are different. He can't really say he'll fix a dime-sized dent for x dollars. My dent was dime sized...but he spent close to 45 minutes fixing it. I was there the whole time, he spent 45 minutes fixing it and wasn't slacking off.

So if you and a few friends want to take care of some dents, call him up and see if he can fix all your dents at a fair price. He told me if I had another dent on my car, the second dent would've been 1/2 price.

He fixed mine for $70. (I asked him, he said it was cool to post the price for my dent). My last one was $30 at a dent day...but I think it was $70 well spent. Mind you, that I am a cheap bastard and while $70 is a lot of money to me, I still think it was money well spent.

Ed, is not the cheapest dent guy in the area, but he is definitely one of the better ones I've encountered.
