Hello fellow US MINIers

My MC suffered a large dent (ouch!) below the side repeater.guess it was hit by a push cart at Target last Saturday in Yorktown where the wind is about 20 mph. I normally park as far as I can but it happen!

Has anyone have experience with Dent Buster or Dent Wizard?
Thanks in advance.

Regards

Pick up your Yellow Pages and try to locate paintless dent repair facilities in your area. Some of them have mobile service and can do the work at home or office.

Also you can try www.dentwizard.com but I don't know if they are located in your area. The site has good info about the techniques involved in PDR and also what types of damage can and can not be repaired via this method.

Keep in mind that if the PDR technician can not reach the dent directly behind the affected sheetmetal panel, they won't touch it. Sometimes they have to drill small holes for them to be able to access a hard to reach dent with their tools. The holes are sealed and pluged and look factory finish...only you will know why that plug is there for.

The PDR technician needs to look at your car before deciding whether the dent is repairable or not. If is not repairable, then you have to opt standard body shop work.
