I'm currently waiting for my car at the paintless dent repair.

2 dents cost RM300! sweat.gif

Dunno cheap or expensive. They said normally 1 dent will cost Rm200.

Ini semua thank you those who opened their doors recklessly! mad.gif

Done before! Still got mark after repair! So to me it's a waste of money!

RM300 you can respray a panel but the advantage of paintless dent repair is that you don't have to worry about colour matching if you respray. However if some of the paint has dropped out PDR will still leave a mark.

Nicks in the door panel due to careless opening of doors is common. It's not going to be the last nick you get on the doors. Unless my car is a Ferarri or Porsche I would just leave it.

If it left a mark, then the shop should not charge you the whole amount.

Don’t like respraying as color matching can be difficult. Also, I prefer the original paint.

Also, it really depends on the dent. If it’s minor and small, then it’s negligible. If it’s huge and an eyesore (especially when the dent is within driver’s view eg driver’s door etc) then, I think it’s a good investment to do it.

IMHO just for coin size dent to spend that much, really2 not worth it coz it's a rip off!

Where did you do this? Coz they have many branches, so all same pricing is it? I will try check in one of the branches nearby my office and see.

Got branches? I only know 3 places -

1 at puchong behind tesco which is pretty well known
1 at pandan indah by a Korean guy but he gave up already and now doing respraying instead laugh.gif
1 at seri kembangan which is pretty new.

I went to the seri kembangan. Good workmanship.

actually paintless dent repairs will always leave some sort of mark, whether obvious or not is the question.

really depends on the experience of the guy and the location of the dent.

i remember doing PDR in canada on an audi tt for like $50 first dent and $30 subsequent dents.

never had a mark or sign that there was ever a dent, other than 1 spot where the line of the car is.

RM200 to press out a dent is too much! These people are killing their own business.

Mine was a ten cents dent and after the repair, the mark was visible as the metal had been stretched! Therefore, the mark is still visible if one look closely! Maybe the workmanship was not up,to mark! Ended up doing touched up by repair shop!

Not too big but not too small... perhaps a 10c dent?

That’s suppose to be the way here but there are less competitors. Hence, price is controlled.

Which one did you go? Usually, if the dent is not 100% fixed, they won’t charge the full amount. To be fair, some places are hard to fix.
