    Paintless dent removal?

    Anyone have a decent experience with a pdr shop? Any recommendations on places to check out (RI/southern MA area). Looking to get a small dent taken out of the tank on a 2012 triumph, between the filler cap and the triumph logo. It seems that many people have had good results with this process, but, I am having trouble even getting an estimate.

    I've had luck with the ebay DIY kits. Good results for the price and a PDR shop won't get it back to 100%.

    Your main issue is the dent overlaps a crease in the body line. PDR does pretty well on flat surfaces, ridges and creases not so much.

    I had PDR done on my subaru on a body line and they did a fantastic job. Not perfect, but you wouldnt really notice it unless I told you

    We used a shop on 114 in Danvers. He was happy to discount for cash.

    Re: Paintless dent removal?

    Yeah, I got a pretty good dent / crease out of the roof of my BMW, frozen snow covered branch fell, hand sized easily visible dent/crease in middle of roof. Got near lease return date, figured if I was going to pay PDR to do it, how much more damage could I do if I tried?

    HOT water and the suction cup, got it barely visible, no charge from BMW for lease damage.


    Of course that tank, different animal, gonna need to massage the metal from inside with those metal probes, not sure I'd attempt that.
