Ferrari California - hood access

One of our clients is Ferrari dealership in BH.





We working with them for few years now and our relationship is based on professionalism and trust.
They call us today to fix car for their client. We don't work much with dealership except those who really value quality work. And these guys are one of them. http://www.ferraribeverlyhills.com/index.aspx Imagine this. Amir (owner) of this beautiful Ferrari wanted to pay and they totally take care of it. I know you may say for car expansive as this one around $190 000. They can pay for little ding repair. But if you are in automotive industry you know how dealerships are. Their mentality is to make buck on everything and their manners goes away. Well these guys are totally about customer service and building good relationship. This is blue Ferrari Ca sold to Amir.





So I work on little ding. To be honest I didn't thing about bloging this until ding was almost gone so I don't have before picture.  The ding was nothing impressive, but I  thought you may like to see access point for this fender. Upper part is easy accessible from hood.  

this is how I got there.




and tools I were using. Most of it I did with smaller tool. That tool is amazing. This tool was designed by Myke Toledo. I using it mainly for edges on fenders and on areas when I have dents so close to the edges. It has interchangeable handle and it is really awesome tool to have in your arsenal. I think you can get it from here http://www.autolecture.com/

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.

Advantages of "in Shop" bumper repair

Advantages of "in Shop" bumper repair

We use proven procedures when we fix bumpers in our shop. But that doesn’t mean that you will have to leave your car. We will remove a damaged part and you can just leave your bumper behind.

Today many bumpers have moldings, back up sensors and other plastic components. For quality results, bumpers and their components need to be removed from vehicles, disassembled and painted separately. That allows painter to paint areas which would otherwise be hard or impossible to reach. Bumpers and other parts are base (primer) coated, painted with the matching color, then clear coated for deep, glossy and wet-looking finish.

Repainted bumpers and parts are then cured under UV light. That dries and hardens the paint completely. Most companies use excessive chemical “hardeners” for quick paint drying time. Excessive use of hardeners will make paint dry fast, but the quality of the paint and the end result will be affected.

We use a balanced approach. The quality of our paint jobs is outstanding. And, after our paint is cured, we color sand and polish all parts. Only then is your bumper assembled and restored back to its original condition.

And now more on the best part: Even though we do these repairs in our shop in Santa Monica, we can disassemble the bumper from your car in about twenty minutes, get a paint code to match your color, then let you drive off. (We recommend you avoid freeway driving without a bumper.) When your bumper is fixed, you can return and we will install the repaired bumper on your car.

To sum up the advantages of our services:
* The bumper is repainted separately from the vehicle
* All plastic components are disassembled and repainted, polished separately, allowing our technician to touch every area he need.
* Paint is cured, color sanded and polished for a great glossy look that will last a lifetime.
* You can leave the bumper and drive away.

Los Angeles Paintless Dent Removal - How We Fix Dents

Nobody likes dents and they're costly to fix when you take them to an auto body shop. However there is another way to fix dents, dings and creases from your car. It is called Paintless Dent Removal or shortly Dent Repair.

Often people thing (due to commercials) that Paintless Dent Removal Technician just come to their house and use some kind of suction cup, plunge or glue puller. For certain type of dents (shallow dents in middle of a panel, without crease or stretched metal) you could use some of those tools (glue puller is best from those three), but for best result and true Paintless Dent Repair technician use special designed metal tools.
Roods, wire tools, shaved tools and other types of tools many different shapes and thickness.

Here are our three most popular companies. We like Dentcraft tools for their whale tails and high carbon steel which produce great strength http://www.dentcrafttools.com
The other well known company is Ultra Dent http://ultradenttools.com/, their soft tip tools are pleasure to work with, most of a PDR technicians know them very well. In addition to their soft tip innovation they created adjustable handle which is outstanding help for quarter panels and any tight area where handle is in the way or we need to gain better leverage by adjusting handle.
Third company we like is Dent Gear http://dentgear.com/ Their tools are inexpensive and they have a wide selection for tools and accessories for fair prices. From rods to strong bended Gorrilla bar ( one of my favorite is GB-1 for only $55, to wire tools, soft tip tools, flat bars or mini lifter and glue pullers they offer great value for great price.

We could talk about Dent tools more and more, every PDR technician prefer some tools I find those mention above extraordinary for their quality. What kind of tools, from which company or new features and gadgets for PDR industry is not as important as how well you can work with those tools. Thus I suggest instead of trying using suction cup, plunger or dent - ding puller kit to find good technician with experience and let him perform Paintless Dent Removal craft in front of your eyes. You will be probably amazed how this 1/2 art and 1/2 science can remove ugly imperfection from your vehicle.

Here we would like to demonstrate how
“paintless dent removal” is performed and viewed
from a technician’s point of view.

In this particular dent, we will start to release pressure around the surrounding area by tapping down the high areas.

As you can see from this example, correctly releasing pressure brings down the dent in size.

Even though pressure is releasing, our technician keeps repeating steps from the prior examples with special designed tools.

The dent is dramatically reduced in size and again

ready to be gently massaged down to size

Although, our dent is almost gone, we’ll keep working the dent
till it blends in with the matching texture of your existing paint.

You have now just seen the process of PDR. The fastest, most efficient and cost-effective method of removing door dings, creases and minor dents from your vehicle. Choosing Paintless Dent Removal (SOS DENT) is great auto-body alternative!

That is a point when customer have to decide what they want, believe or not even people with exotic cars are many times considered about cost instead of quality. We personally suggest quality over cost, that mean that even thought paintless dent removal would benefit out PDR business we suggest customer body work. Professionalism, Honesty and best service for customer are values we prefer over the fast profit. If our client still insist, we go ahead and do our best to fix their car.
