Nasty Fender Dent!

I have a nasty dent in the front left fender as you can see... Do you think I'll be able to remove the fender and bend it back into place on my own?

No. Take it to a shop. Things with body work always look half-assed if you do it yourself without any experience.

Re: Nasty Fender Dent!

That looks a bit irregular and a bit too close to the end of the panel for PDR... probably gonna need a shop to deal with it. Or get a new fender.

Re: Nasty Fender Dent!

well you can always try to fix it on your own and take it to the shop if it looks bad. Not like you're gonna mess it up any more than it is already. good luck.

Re: Nasty Fender Dent!

I have an all honda family so we all take our cars to the same dealership to get maintenence. After so many trips, we got to know our mechanic pretty well and he told us which days the dent wizard guy was going to be at the dealer doing work. Long story short, went in on the Thursday he was there and he took about 11 dents out of my car for around $60 or 70, and a couple were in hard to work with places (such as a huge crease on the back of the trunk, right where it starts to curve downwards). Call your local dealer and find out when the dent guy is making his next visit, then I would go in and try and haggle with him. Usually when they are already out at the dealer, they are willing to do the work for very cheaper then if you call them to your house.

Re: Nasty Fender Dent!

11 dents for $70.00 sounds to good to be true.
I'll go check for myself and see.
I have like 8 little dings I want out.

Yeah I thought so too, I thought the guy was going to seriously f*ck up my car, but when it came it, everything looked good, except a little paint damage that was at the center of one of the dents, which I just touched up myself. Truth be told, it was my father who negotiated the price, and like I said, we went in when the 2 guys were at the dealer with all their equipment already out and paid cash of course. One of the guys didnt even speak english, but he sure as hell did good work. Then about a week later I get rear ended like sh*t, lol. Maybe its some kind of weird karma.
