Littleton area dent repair?

Washing my MINI this morning I made an unpleasant discovery: a nasty dent near the bottom right corner of my right tail light. Not big, but deep, and there's a big star crack in the tail light lens. Someone must have backed into it, or rammed it pretty hard with a shopping cart, in the past day or two.

The paint doesn't seem to be broken, but as I mentioned it's a pretty deep dent and the metal may be creased.

So -- any recommendations for dent repair in the Littleton area?

In looking around the web I learned that Ralph Schomp BMW is an authorized service center for Dent Wizard. Anyone have any experience to share with that service?

Thanks,

--Matt.

Some one dinged the edge of my driver's side door. Bent it inward but did not break the paint. I took it to Schomp and in less than an hour I was back on the rode with nary a mark remaining. I mean it is as close to perfect as you can imagine (and I'm pretty good at imagining).

I have about 3 dents on the ROOF of my car imbetween the sunroof and antenna and the reason why this lady was loading up her truck and decided to put all her **** on my car and I saw her doing it then she denied that she had dented it where all her crap was so I still have them. ***** but it's cool I have dent wizard but the nerve of her to deny it ticked me off so bad. So the question is how do I get that removed and on top of that today I got mauled with shopping carts.

Sounds like RS is the place to go

Glad to hear those good words about dent repair at Schomp. Since I'll need a new tail light lens as well as dent repair, and I'll be bringing the MINI in for scheduled service soon, I think that's the best way for me to go.

Dent too severe? Still not giving up.

Yesterday a dead battery required me to take my car in to Ralph Schomp sooner than expected. Unfortunately, their dent guy was not there at the time.

I spoke with the service advisor about my dent, and after looking at it he said that it was too severe for their dent guy to fix -- I'd have to bring it to a collision shop.

However, given what I've read here and elsewhere online I'm not quite ready to give up on the paintless dent repair route until I show it to an actual dent repair technician. So I think I'll call Dent Wizard directly to set up an appointment. I'll let you know what I find out.

As for the tail light lens, it should cost a little over $100 to have that replaced at Schomp, which is not bad. (And of course, the rest of their service was outstanding as always.)
