The Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington has an event at the local Dent Wizard every year or two. We have a drawing to select member's car to have dent removed while we watch. It's almost magic I was lucky enough to have a noticable dent removed from my RX-7 a few years ago. Perfect results. I have an aquaintance that does this kind of work. He is busy full time going from dealer to dealer removing dents from new cars. And you never know it...

The main rule as to whether this repair is a viable option: the paint surface must not be cracked or broken by the dent. And certain locations on the car may pose a problem with dent removal.

I had a small door ding removed by Dent Wizard last year. It was done in 30 minutes and you would never know it was there. (Fortunately, there had been no paint transferred from the offender's door.) Best $100 I'd spent in a long time.

I had one fixed in my 8 this summer after I got whacked at Home Depot. The guy's in Washington Twp. PM me if you want his number; he may go to Philly.

I had a pretty sizeable dent removed from the fender of my wife'a Miata, about a three inch long crease. Looked perfect afterwards. I took it to the Dent Wizard shop on Matsonford Road near Conshy. The shop is practically under Expressway overpass where the Blue Route intersects.

Dent Wizard did magic on my Miata several years ago. I have had 3 spots on my RX-8 done (all self inflicted) with the usual results - the dent is gone and you really have to look to find the repaired area.

Highly recommended.

I had a dent on the top crease of my front right fender (something fell in the garage). The Dent Wizard guy fixed it in my job's parking lot and there's no hint that it was ever there. Unbelievable and well worth it. BTW, if you dent the aluminum parts, it costs a little more.
