tldr/cliff notes - precision dent repair in Richmond does excellent work and I recommend them.
Like most people with daily driven cars I've managed to accumulate a few dings here and there.
Well, my car was dinged again last week and it was on the upper part of the drivers side door where light reflects and whenever I'd get in my car my eyes would be drawn to that ding. I decided that I wanted to get rid of all the dings at once. I've never tried paintless dent removal before and was concerned about how effective it would be. I also did not know who to take my car to.
Dents Unlimited has good reviews but they are in Port Moody which is an hours drive from Richmond. I used google to see if there were any pdr companies nearby and saw Precision Dent's website and it seemed very nicely made and professional. And they were located in Richmond! I gave them a call and Chris picked up the phone. He was genuinely willing to answer all my questions and put me at ease which I believe is important for companies like this. I also found out that they offered mobile service - perfect! We then set a house appointment for the next day (yesterday).
Chris arrived at my house on time and inspected the dings. The smaller ones on the door were easier because he could get at them from behind. These were fixed really fast and were done perfectly. I also had a bigger dent on the driver's side rear quarter panel that was on a body line. There was no way to access this from the inside unless you drilled a hole because of the way my car is made. Chris understands that drilling is a very last resort and wouldn't do it unless he had no choice and even then he'd get permission first. He said that even if it was on a body line he could glue pull it and massage the dent from the outside. I was watching him work all this time and it truly was an art. The ding on the body line took longer but it was done perfectly as well.
He managed to fix all the dents I wanted gone perfectly. It was like magic. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my car so when I say I'm happy then its 100% gone and you'll never know it was dented. Even if I point it out to you you'll think I'm lying. It helps that Chris is also a perfectionist and has 10 years experience in pdr. He works from the Richmond automall and does cars (including exotics) for many dealerships but he wants to expand to private jobs now.
Whew, that was a lot of typing but I decided to do it because I really am happy with the job he did and am glad that there's someone in Richmond that can provide excellent pdr services. So customer service is excellent, workmanship also excellent and price is reasonable. Because of that I don't have any qualms about recommending Precision Dent Repair to friends and family and revscene. If you live in Richmond and want dings gone go check them out!
