I am a new mini mother and my baby just got her first ding and I about had a fit.(only had her for 10 weeks) Not sure if I should just call the dealership or if someone knew someone who does a good job (IE not just put paint over it) I called my husband and I was sick ready to cry. I have never been so protective of a car, but then again its not just a car.

Hopefully she'll get some mods for christmas
THANKS

 

Sorry about your ding, that first one is the toughest. If the paint is not broken or cracked a PDR tech can make it go away. Any of the larger car lots have these guys on their lot on a regular basis, I'm sure the MINI dealership uses their services as well. Your SA could help you out.

 

MINI of St Louis does have the service. Took out several dings on my Cabrio. No scratches, however. That would probably go to the body shop.

 

Find a certified Dent Wizard. And shop around. I've gotten several different quotes from different guys for the same dent before.

 

My neighbor has a shop out in St. Charles and he does really good work. He's removed several dings for me and I was very pleased with his work and he is reasonably priced. If you are interested, I can get the phone number and address.

 

Thanks for all the replies. It has a small dent but it totally put a chip in the paint. Thats all I see everytime I walk up to her. Angie , if your friend can make it go away it would be worth the drive I live in South city. I just want to get it taken care of this week, cause it is chipped down to metal.
Thanks again,
Dawn & Stella

 

My neighbor's business is Perfection Plus Paintless Dent Removal, his name is Stan Weber, 636-498-6700 (shop) 314-660-0494 (cell). You could give him call and he said he does minor paint touch-up.

 

Thanks,
I took into the BMW/Mini collision center and they gave me an estimate of $430 they said they would have to re-paint the whole quarter panel. I'll give your neighbor a call and see what he thinks before I shell out that kind of money.
