Austin, TX-Need Paintless Dent Removal!

Just found a softball size dent on my front bumper. Almost looks like someone kicked in my bumper. So bummed... haven't even had my car an entire month yet

Anyone have any experiences with or recommendations for paintless dent removal place? Looking at it is putting me into a depression

Thanks

Sorry to hear about this.

Ask any random dealership about who they use to repair their dents on the cars off of their lot. Usually, they have someone who drives up to them and repairs their dents, and has a direct bill account with them.

What I mean to say is that you can try to get the contact info from the dealer.

If you can pay cash, maybe the dent repair guy can cut you a deal while also making extra pocket money for himself.

I'm hoping they can fix what you have.

All the best!

Berlie's in round rock. Best body shop in Austin by far.

Berli's in round rock is by far the best body shop around, but for just a pdr dent you will pay out the rear for a simple paintess dent removal ( if this is all it needs ). I am a sales manager at Maxwell GMC in Round Rock and i have used these guys times over and over again with good results, just tell them chris at Maxwell sent you.

I would highly recommend Collision Plus they have 2 locations in Houston.
I used them to fix a ding on my rear quater panel and they did a fantastic job, plus the owners are very easy to work with and nice guys.

Garage List
Berli's has disappointed me twice, late, poor color match (metallic black), chipping paint on the repair area (said they didn't use enough flex on the bumper), I took the cars back, couldn't believe it considering the reviews they get. They seem to do better for custom or high end work maybe I just go unlucky? Last time I used them was 4 years ago.

For everyday bodywork I've been using Jeff's Auto Body on Lamar, and they've been very good so far, especially when dealing with insurance adjusters.
