Hey guys! Figures, I get a fucking door dent on my Cobalt before it even hits the 1k mile mark. I'm so fucking pissed. It's a small one right on the fender flare of the rear driver's side. Has anybody ever used a Painless dent removal type service on these cars? What do you recommend?

Dentwizard FTW!!!! Just ask your dealership who they use and get a number. Had another company take dents out of my car when I bought it.

HHmm...Never heard of that. How much does something like that cost? What process do they use?

depends on the size and location, ususally about 50-100 for something small, just use tools to push out the dents and then slowly tap it out smooth, my boy has been doing this for like 12 years, it's amazing at some shit they can get out if they are good.

Sweet! I have to check that out. The dent in mine is very small, VERY small. But, I still know it's there and it drives me nuts!

What is the guys name in NY? I know a bunch of dent guys up there and some in Fl in the Orlando area. If any one needs dents taken in Fl let me know I can call my boy and he will take care of you and possibly in NY as well.

Oh man, thanks for that useful information. I just realized they have a dentwizard shop right at my dealership. Since I do have to have my car serviced to fix my bumper, I'll ask them to do everything at once.

Go to pep boys and but their dent removing suction cup for all but 3.99. Try that first see if it does what you want, if not, then I would call a professional, and it may cost more but, yea they should get it out.

I had a really large dent from a door that hit my car, I got most of it out w/ a suction cup, but the small part thats left I will look into getting fixed.

everyone with dents, try this, get a can of air duster, and a blow dryer. Heat the area of the dent for about 30-45 seconds on high setting, then tip the can of airduster upside down and spray the liquid co2 onto the area, it will freeze up, then wait a few seconds, and listen, it should pop right out, wait for the ice to go away, and wipe off. It is worth a shot, and saves a lot of money in body work...... try it

great idea! heat is the best way to pop most dents out if the metal is bare. its easier and does a better job than a hammer. i'm liking that idea... might not work for everything but would work on a most simple dents.

no, it will not mess up the paint, only way it would was if it was messed up before, like if the dent cracked the paint.....
