A good PDR guy is a magician. I'm convinced. Not much help, but I've organised for a PDR guy in sydney to come over on monday and try and remove some hail damage from a cayman S while I work on the rest of the car. Access to caymans and porsches in general is a nightmare but I wouldn't trust anyone else with the job if it's do-able. There are limitations to what they can do, of course, but on suitable jobs, the guys who are good at it are REALLY good at it. It's worth making the effort to find a good one.

To be clear, PDR is the process - paintless dent removal - googling for PDR alone may not garner the right results. You need to find a company specialising in PDR. Some panel beaters do this kind of work also. And some are better than others. I don't have any PDR contacts down your way unfortunately but a quick search came up with Dent Doctor, who services your area. Dent Doctor | Dent Repairs | Dent Removal | Auto Mobile Dent Repairs | Paintless Dent Repair

No idea what they're like - have had absolutely no contact with them whatsoever and never seen any of their work, so do your own research on them. And I'm sure it's just one of many that are available.

sometimes panel shops will have a PDR guy come around every so often. (ie once a week)
so you could always speak to them. they may say bring it back on such a day when the fella is in.

had a few annoying dents taken out. wouldnt have even known they were there.

Also, with you being anal, she might not be into that. But good luck ;)

Painless dent removal really is almost like an art form. Some of the dents I've seen them remove - you'd almost swear they'd replaced a panel and resprayed it!

Just going through a similar situation, although the co-worker who hit me isn't very cute (HE's not my type lol). After getting the quote to repair my car, they decided insurance was cheaper so I've had the car assessed and just waiting for a cheque.

So again, good luck and do what's right for you and your car :)

I have a good PDR guy on speed dial basically. $100ish a job, he works wonder. F**k wits in orange sometimes open doors carelessly, particularly when parked @ the cinema, which is where most of it happens funnily enough...
