Paintless Dent Repair

[travajante]

Had a bad experience when I visited Rovic in Makati, i have a small dent about the size of a 10cent coin on the door. I initially inquired thru text and described to him and told me it was gonna ba 400 for a small dent and 800 for medium dent.

When I visited his shop in 53 Paseo de Roxas Makati, upon inspection he outright told me 3,000 for this and better to go to use my insurance since is a brand new car (barely a month old) and probably be better to replace the door. Wtf this is a freaking small dent thats visibly from 20ft away when light hits it just right.

I went to him first and only time to have a dent repaired on my itlog lancer 15yrs ago becuase of a post here in tsikot and even recommended him awlays when being asked for advise for PDR. But 3k for single small dent, kaya nga ako pumupunta sa PDR so I can save on participation fee.

These guys probably think that there is still this honeymoon period for having a brand new car, and they can over charge or equal the participation fee just to milk unsusprcting customers for a simple dent repair.

A good 3k PDR is still a lot less headache than a bad hobo 1 or a small paint job. On doors, paint matching can sometimes lead to spraying the entire side. And remember, resprayed panels may not react well to future PDR.

Depends on the location of the dent ... if there's a panel behind that can be easily removed for access ...

Some shops also use a slide hammer to pull out small dings.
