Door Dings in StL

Can anybody recommend a reputable company in Saint Louis that can take door dings out? I can't stand seeing the dent in my car any longer!

Call MINI of St Louis service department, whoever they have doing it there did a great job on my Cabrio. Sorry, I can't remember who it was.

IMO, The Dent Co is THE place to go. Ask for the owner John Ransin. Not sure it will buy you any discounts but mention Brad Bloomquist sent you. He knows how picky I am and always goes out of the way to help me out. Excellent work.

I second this. Top notch. Even though, I think after I mentioned Brad my quote got LARGER...

Are they who do it at the dealer? Mine was perfect after it was done there.

Dent Co it is then. It is going to be really convenient for me too as it turns out Dent Co is only about 2 miles down the road from where I work. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I don't know if John does MINI of St. Louis' work or not. I just know that he is amazing and found things I never even knew existed! And I'm pretty particular myself...

The couple of times I had dents removed at the dealer, it was Dent Wizard. They did a great job---I couldn't tell at all where the dents were. One time though a piece of plastic trim that they had to remove was slightly misaligned after the work. I pointed this out and it was corrected right away.

Dent Wizard charged about $80 to $100 per dent (depending I guess on where it was) --- how much does Dent Co. charge?

I just went in yesterday and they quoted $85 for mine. I am will be in there next week and then, hopefully, dent free for the future.

I had 6 dents on mine on 3 separate panels(apartment living was the pits). They charged me $250 at the dealer. It was well worth it

Wow, small world! This may seem strange, but I noticed some of your photos on here and your license plate reminded me of a car I see often...at SLU! I drive the gold Lexus RX300 and try to park next to you when I can. I'm picky about where and who I park next to and when I saw your stlmini sticker and noticed how clean your car always is (and how is it ALWAYS so clean?!), I thought you might just be as careful as I am! I hope you don't mind

Hi! Yes, I think I've seen your car a few times. There are a handful of us car care nuts that always park at the far end of the parking garage (a silver Subaru, a red Pontiac, a red Mustang ...).

Are you thinking about getting a MINI? (Or do you have one already?)
