I need some advice... when washing my car today I noticed on the bonnet 3 soft dents that look like somebody or their evil kid was leaning on my car!, two on the passenger side, aft of the headlight, and one right above the supercharger intake! Already it is driving me crazy! Does anybody know of a good place to get them fixed, and an approximate price of such a procedure? I saw the Ding King thing on TV, but am very suspicious!

Thanks in advance,

~Joe

The dent king only works for pulling LARGE dents from FLAT panels. Wouldn't do a thing in this application. Not to mention I don't think it does a thing on a large flat panel either.

Check your local yellow pages for "paintless dent removal". If no luck finding someone there, call some local dealers and ask whom they use. Shouldn't cost more than $40 a dent, or if doing multiple dents on same panel, no more than $120 total.
