dent
This isnt really too much help to your question cause i have the same problem. i work at a grocery store and some jackass ran a cart into my car and the dent is 700 to fix, it isnt that bad either. i went to carsmetics and it was only 480 to do but i wanna know also if anyone has tried this to remove dents not scratches and how did it come out. i know they can match paint well with thier digital camera i heard but im not sure about dents...

Actually I saw it at work and I'll try buffing it out as much as possible... I haven't heard much good stuff from them..Just ask FL.O.G... He'll tell ya.. I think their way to expensive because I've gotten quotes from them before. Just give me a call at work ext 72727. I'll tell ya what I heard from people around here and maybe we can go outside and look at it. People at USF have gotten my car with a whole lot of dents and dings so I know...

DAMN! They only charged me $185 to paint my entire bumper...find out if they're charing you for prep work. You can sand and prime it yourself, not too hard. Also, Maybe your dad can drive the car in and get in estimate...sounds like the ******** are taking advantage of you for being a younger female. If they quote your dad a cheaper price, I'd raise hell!

I just had a scratch going doen the side of my p5. Deep long gash more like it. It was at least 6 feet long. My girls friend went down the side of it with her car.
I went to Master collsian on busch and they quoted me like 1400 bucs. Insurence covered it so no sweat for me. I don't recommend going to and place like carsmetics. Your going to get what you pay for.
On the other hand if I had to pay out of pocket to get my wound fixed I would be going to carsmetics too.
