Good PDR recommendation hopefully near me....

PDR = Paintless dent removal
Just saw it an am sooo upset. It is probably the size of a quarter, about 1/4 up on the drivers side door. Looks scratched (and a second scratch above it) but think PDR should be able to remove it.

Looking for something hopefully in Greenbelt, Laurel, Beltsville, College Park area. Any suggestions? Also, this should be relativly cheap thing right?

Will post pics in a bit....

Thanks!

Aww, I'm sorry! The first one is always the worst...

I saw a live demonstration of PDR at Sterling a while back. I think I even have a 10% off discount card from it still that I'd be more than happy to pass along. I can say that it works! They took a perfectly innocent MCa, and gave it a good whack on the door with a plastic-coated hammer! About 15 minutes later, it was gone. And I really mean gone! They allowed up-close inspection of the work, and I'll I could see was a smudge of grease where he was working.

If I remember correctly, it was about $70 per repair. And they may be able to come out to you, but don't quote me...

Thanks Paul! James pointed out to me two smaller dings where the top scratch is. I am really pissed about this.

I'm considering getting my Ernesto damage taken care of. The thing is, it's not a door ding. It's several dings and what could be called a crease in the bonnet. The really curvy part above the passenger side headlight, mostly.


Should I give MoS a call? I want to shop around and get some estimates. Anywhere in the Alexandria area would be great.

There is one on Randolph rd. I forgot the name of the place.
From Georgia ave., take Randolph rd. west toward Rockville. The shop will be on the right hand side, right after you cross Parklawn dr.
