I'm thinking of trying to straighten my mx5 a little and repair "shopping centre" car door dings in my panels.
Since owning the car I have tried to keep away from most cars by parking next to a pole or away from the main entrance but alas the previous owner did not.
Has anyone had experience with http://www.dingking.com.au/ or any other repairers? If so, what did you think of the repair and the cost?

Re: Car door ding removal from panels
When I bought my car I had about 5 parking lot dents from the previous owner. On the Gold Coast there is Wizard dent removal, I took the car to them and they got every single one out, even a difficult one over the rear wheel arch where they couldn't get in behind it but they managed to suck it out some how. But I was very impressed and would definitely use them again.
Give it a go what have you got to loose .......beside your dents

Re: Car door ding removal from panels
its a common and cost effective method. Your local car dealer or detailer can probably point you to someone doing it in your area. Anyone doing the work will give you an idea of the cost over the phone or certainly by seeing it. Two creases down a rear panel and a dent on a door cost $100 last week- no comparison to the cost of fill and repaint etc. I have used 2 different operators both equally competent- choice often comes down to what is convenient.

Re: Car door ding removal from panels
thanks for that!
It does sound like a common way to fix these small (but annoying) dings. I might give them a call over the weekend and see how much it will cost.
