I've got to agree with Skins. I've had good experiences with hail damage repair in the past.

If your close with the dealership you bought the the car maybe you could bring the car out when they have the dent guy there to get their rate.

Or more likely the Dealership would expect to get their cut of the deal and the Dent tech would have to raise the price to make the same money.

Or, Or the dealership would use "THEIR" shitty Dent Tech who drills holes and does shoddy work to be able to work fast enough to make money at the cheap rates the dealership is willing to pay.

...... I've seen BOTH more times than I can count.

PDR is an art, and some are better at it that others. I get mine done through a local CarMax. They get a cut, but they get such a cheap rate due to volume, I’m paying $65-$75 per ding.

The repair looks great.
On my phone I can only see a slight wiggle in the reflected lines. Looks pretty darn good to me!

ETA: would your relative mind coming to AZ to fix an easy dent my wife got in her door? I’ll buy them a beer.
