Dent/ Ding Repair Recommendation

eastwest2300 · 10-31-2011, 01:42 AM

I took my Z out today, before I took off, I walked around the car and noticed a very nasty dent in the Driver's side fender close to the head light, Im not gonna lie, I was very very pissed off.

I have NO clue how it happened, I think a fairly large tree limb fell off and hit my Z.

I need to find a good shop that could repair it, for a reasonable price. Any recommendations. I'll go a good distance to have it done right.

Please help me out with a good recommendation. A phone number & and name of the shop would be a big help.
Thanks guys!!

The guy I use is out of baltimore so I am guessing it is too much of a hike for him but he has stopped by the garage twice now... Fricking aluminum.

They did a repair of my old lady's SUV, it came out great. I found then doing a "google" for my area. They come out to your location.

How bad is the damage to your fender? Post up a pic.

eastwest2300 · 11-01-2011, 11:45 PM

I can do that tomorrow, the damage is bad enough to piss you off, I mean I was pretty pissed, Im like, I dont drive it enough to have it get damaged like that. Its BS man...

if the paint is not scratched/cracked and it is only a dimple you could try removing the fender (easy to do) and take a rubber hammer to the back side with little force to see if it pops back into position without any cracking. if the dent is creased/cracked then you will need a bodyshop.

I gotta post up pictures so you guys can check it out.. The dent doctor is outside of Baltimore I notice, so it looks like I have a couple options, I just want the work done right.

Give me a couple days to post up pics, Im in the process of moving right now.
