The answer to this question will vary from person to person. In my expert opinion, a ding is small dent. A ding is usually round in shape, and is smaller than the circumference of a golf ball. If you hit the garage door on the way out of your house, and crushed the front fender, this is not a “ding”, this is a dent. We can repair both dings and dents with great success! Atlanta dents dings
What is the difference between a dent and a ding?
September 7th, 2010I hit my door against a pole at the gas station, can you fix it?
September 6th, 2010I call these QT pole dents. They really need to put a rubber top on those things. Scores of people dent their cars on them every day. Yes we can repair these dents, and sometimes we can repair them perfectly; although often they don’t repair 100%. The reason for this is because the corners of the pole are somewhat sharp (and the pole is quite solid). The dents that they cause are usually deep and somewhat stretched. When the metal stretches, the repair will always be less than perfect. Most people are happy with the repair we can do. You have to look close to find the remaining flaw; which is sometimes a tiny spot the size of a BB where the metal has been stretched. Roswell paintless dent removal
Is there a discount for having lots of dents?
May 24th, 2010Yes! The first dent on a vehicle is likely to cost in the range of $80-$100 for a small door ding for atlanta paintless dent removal. Yet if you have multiple dents, it will not cost you $80 per ding. Very often we can go around a vehicle and repair all of the dings in it for $200- $300. Extreme cases could be more. Light damage could be less. We offer a great value, and usually charge less than the brick and mortar shops in town! We also offer the convenience of coming to your location!
What is that white/yellow plastic board that you hook to the car?
April 9th, 2010One of the questions that I hear the most while I’m actually doing a job is about the “dent board”. We use a suction cup to hang this plastic board to the car. In and of itself, it does nothing. It is not actually “doing” anything. We use the black stripe on the board as a constant reflection that we see while we look at the dent. When I am repairing a dent, I am looking at the dent, but I am seeing the reflection of the stripe on the board in the shiny paint of the dent. (As a side note, I cannot repair dents on paint that has no shine!) You can imagine that as the metal is bending out from the pressure I am applying with my dent tool, the reflection of the stripe would be bending along with it. I use this bending reflection to tell me where my tool tip is. (my tool is behind the metal, pushing outward, so I can’t actually see the tool tip).
The only other use for the dent board is to use one of them as a shade-board. Sometimes I use two boards, one as described above, and one to put shade on the dent itself, in sunny conditions. This enhances my ability to see the dent and my tool tip behind the dent. Call us for atlanta dent removal !

Appliance Dent Removal – Stainless Steel
March 31st, 2010I have been asked to remove dents in a lot of unusual things! The strangest dent I have removed is in a coffin, a copper coffin! I actually had pretty good succes too. The most common request is stainless steel appliances. It is terribly frustrating for people to get a ding in these expensive refrigerators, stoves and dishwashers. Unfortunately I have never once had success in removing dents in these appliances. So after many attempts in the past, I have given up on appliances. People that call and ask about appliances are understandably disappointed when I tell them I can’t help them. The reasons that I cannot do the repair have to do with the construction, and materials differences between cars and appliances. There may actually be dent guys that have found success in repairing appliances, although at this point I’m going to stick to cars and coffins! Thanks for reading. Atlanta dent removal…..
Do the dents come back?
March 18th, 2010No! For 999 out of 1000 dents, they will not come back, ever. Some times we are asked to repair dents that really shouldn’t be repaired with paintless dent removal. These severe dents have actually stretched the metal of the car. When we repair these dents, the metal actually comes out too far, creating a slight bulge. This is the kind of dent, which if slightly hit, can pop back in. These dents don’t usually repair well, and I steer people away from repairing them.

Will the Dent Repair 100% ?
March 11th, 2010Yes, most of the time. Most of the minor door dings and dents that we are asked to remove, will repair completely. By this I mean that you will not be able to find where the dent was when we are done. Not every dent repair technician can say this. Paintless dent removal is an art, and takes years to master.
We are asked to repair some dents that are severe, deep, or sharp. Some of these dents cannot be repaired 100%. We can often achieve a great repair, but not one where no evidence can be found of our work. We are always able to tell a customer in advance what level of repair can be achieved. We always guarantee your satisfaction on every repair. We know you will be impressed.
Can you repair crease dents?
March 10th, 2010YES. We are often asked if we can do crease dent repair. A crease is any dent that has a linear shape. Crease dents can be caused by something dragging down the car, or from a long straight edge (door edge etc.) hitting the vehicle. The answer is yes. It is not the shape of a dent that will limit a paintless dent removal. It is more often the severity of a dent that will cause it to be unrepairable with paintless dent removal. We can even repar a crease that crosses a body line, or character line on a car! We always guarantee your satisfaction with any repair! We serve all of metro Atlanta.
