Good Paintless Dent guy in Los Angeles/SoCal?

Anyone have someone they have actually hired and recommend? Looking for a good PDR and the regular internet is not that helpful. Thanks.

I'd call the high end dealers - they will know a guy.

I'd agree. A friend of mine is one of the best in the country. I've texted him to see if he knows anybody down your way.

I have a guy who does the OC area high line dealers. 17 years doing PDR.

I agree with Don, call or go to local dealers and see who the PDR recon. guys are. Maybe try Rusnak Pasadena or?

You want someone who knows your car and will
take the time required...even if it costs you more.

Take, for example, a 997. Rear quarters are double wall and often require a hole to be drilled for access. A hack in a hurry will open the door and drill the B pillar/jam area, then put a plastic plug in the hole.
Cleaner way, lift vehicle, pull rear wheel and liner if necessary, drill underside of wheel well and handle PDR, plug hole and install wheel. Out of sight repair! Extra 30 min? Yep... But much better.


Same goes for SC/3.2 Carrera door dings that are upper/mid door. Common spot, but behind door beam. Very hard to access from top or bottom.

Many will drill... Shame.

I prefer the extra time to R&I the door panel so PDR can access that way.

YMMV.

Cooper- J. M. ?

OP-

If you can roll down to orange county I recommend a guy that I have have had work some magic on a few occasions and I originally got his info from a RR dealer. I have had many other folks also mention him as the guy they use, all are big classic car guys and own nice stuff.

Pm me for contact info if interested.
