Who can recommend a paintless dent repair guy who knows 3rd gens?

I've taken my '83 to several PDR guys and no one knows how to get past the brace in the door to push out those dings.

Apparently, as I've found out, you need to heat up your tools to get past the glue on the brace. Can anyone recommend a good PDR guy in the area who is familiar with 3rd gens?

Thanks, I'll look him up. Does he know his way around the innards of a 3rd gen door?


Are they on 9059 S Harlem?

he'll get you in touch with his PDR guy, it's not rocket science, obviously the other companies didn't want to tackle a harder job.

Just gave Paul a call and mentioned your name. He'll call back with the PDR guy's number.

i don't know many PDR guys that have a shop, they don't need that kind of overhead when all their "tools" could fit in a van.

Re: Who can recommend a paintless dent repair guy who knows 3rd gens?

I know someone that is really good out in NW IN. But there are time when pdr guy can not get to a dent or pop it out. If thats the case with your car give me a call I can get the dent out and repaint you will never know they were there.
