Paintless Dent Repair in Central Florida?
My Jaguar got sideswiped by a motorscooter at a roundabout and was left with fairly minor three dents once I polished everything else away. One of them is on the front fender, the others are on front edge of the door.
Can anyone recommend a good PDR place I can call up for some estimates? |

I am in Tampa and the local Dent Medic guy is incredible. He has taken numerous dents out of my cars for me and comes right to my house. He mentioned that he has a buddy who covers the Orlando area. Give him a call and he can hook you up with the Orlando guy. His name is Dennis and he can be reached at 800-747-0690. Not sure if the Orlando guy is as good as Dennis, but you could always take a ride over to Tampa and meet up with him...his work is incredible.

Thanks!
At the moment my car is at Jaguar. Fortunately me and service manager have become personal friends so he's giving me a wholesale price on fixing everything. We'll see what the estimate comes out to on Thursday. |

Keep in mind that if the dealership paints it, they are required to reported it to Carfax and your car value plummets...even if he is your buddy. Any reports of body work to Carfax impacts vehicle value.
No Carfax reporting for paintless dent removal. Dent Medic does paintless dent removal for numerous new car dealers in the Tampa area. Rob |

The dealer isn't painting anything. They're doing a PDR, they have a guy that comes to them once a week.
I also don't care much about the CarFax, the car is a lease. |

Their dent guy said he may not be able to get it done. The damage isn't that bad. I saw some of the pics other places have fixed, and they've fixed muuuuch worse.
So I submitted an email to Elite Dent Repair in Tampa, and I'll call up Dent Medic as well. |

Orlando Dent Company came through and did an absolutely astonishing job. The owner and primary service man there is Paul, who is a really nice guy. His work is absolutely flawless.
My Jaguar dealership was floored by his work, especially since their guy didn't think he could do a good job at fixing it. He was even able to pop out the gash/dent on the sideskirt, which is plastic and not metal, and that is extremely difficult to do. PDR - Paintless Dent Repair - Orlando Dent Company - Serving Orlando, FL His rates are also very, very reasonable. Don't hesitate, this guy doesn't BS. |
