Paintless Dent Removal on Audi Q5 - Los Angeles moving accident

Paintless Dent Removal on Audi Q5 - Los Angeles moving accident 

New client came to our shop with emergency request to fix his dent. Many times we have similar situations when people want to fix car super fast. LOL we ussaly know that somethings going on.
Most of the time is the wife's (no offense ladies) who want to fix car before husband finds out. This case was little different but similar in time issue and urgency.

Dent wasn't easy neither was difficult.  Metal was stretched around lower section (that is where was door brace). This dent was complex damage (one dent has more dents in it).   I start work on it from top, pushed dent and then straighten sharp body line which audi Q5 has.
Then I removed smaller dents until I felt resistance. Next move was to push high spot line from brace back and then go work on smaller dents again.
I hope you will like the little video. I was quite happy especially because Arturo was so so happy. This was mainly because we are always honest with clients and when we see dents which will not be completely removed we told them (sometimes we received damage for Body Work but want faster and cheaper solution, then we can offer Paintless Dent Removal long as they are aware of little imperfections). In this case I told him it will be about 80% close to original. Usually client don't know what to expect even when we explain them and they are little bit skeptic.
Well in the end he was very, very happy and that is one of your goals. Help you to solve problem with your car and when you leaving from our shop to be happier.

See for your self.

Toyota Prius - car rental repair

Couple times a month we have clients with damage on car rental cars.
That is really stressful for most of them because
1- they need to fix it fast
2- they don't want to spend money on car which is not their
3- they don't want to get overcharge from car rental.

If u had accident on rental car you can always add insurance, which is coast is usually extra $18-35 which in most cases double the price for car rental so most people don't do it.
Same like this client of ours. And even when you have insurance on your car rental. It is hassle.

Paintless dent removal is excellent solution for dents, door dings and creases. It saves lot of time compare to body work and money.

SOS DENT in Santa Monica offers just that in addition if we can we offer paintless dent removal as a mobile service in W LOS ANGELES and SM.

This particular repair save our client paying about 5 extra days for rental car. Because if he take it to only to body shop. This repair will take about 5-6 days and cost could be anything from $775 - up.



See how this repair came up.


I hope that none will have to go through a hassle with their car rental. But if s..t happens you can at least know there is a solution.

All the best

GMC Yukon - hood repair

This was yesterday warm up dent. Our client cam with fist size dent and light scratches on his SUV.  When I check accessibility I felt that I can not get everywhere I want to and I need to use for upper and bottom section of this dent skinnier and sharper tool then I would wanted to. However with help from glue pulling dent came pretty smooth.





Glue pulling was breeze. Right pull applied-in correct sequence helped remove 80% of this dent in few minutes.
Then just little crown work which helps release tension from metal. Thanks to that I didn't have to force metal back to original position. When crowns are minimazed and removed, pushing dent is fun. Because each push has visible results. However when we forgat remove crowns, dent not gonna go away


and here is the final results.
