Auto Body Repair Recommendations
I just came out of a couple of stores and found a pretty good dent in the right rear corner of my car. I have no idea where this happened but I'm going to have to get it fixed. I'm sure it's going to be more than my deductible so I'm looking for a place that does small body repairs.

Most of the bumpers today are basically plastic, this means if you can get your hand behind the bumper, and you apply some heat using a hair dryer, you my be able to pop out the dent. Then a trip to the automotive supply store will get you a can of spray touch up paint. You can then buff to match. If you want to try this approach, let me know via a PM.

Wasn't there a reply here a few days ago about some guy in the
Villages that comes to your house?

The Car Guys

They did a fine job, and in my case USAA was able to go after the woman's insurance, so they waived my deductible. (There were more than six witnesses who were trying to stop the woman as she was backing up.)

Car Guys did my car at the Lady Lake location May of last year. You could not tell that they painted, fixed, whatever else, it looked new except minus the dealer's name decal was gone. Somebody ran into the back of me while I was waiting to exit the Marathon Station on 466A, he said his foot slipped off the brake. The guy had MS, so maybe he really shouldn't be driving. Anyway, his insurance Travelers paid for everything ($2400) plus a car from Enterprise for the week.

Auto Body Repair Recommendations
Car Guys on 441 it is then.
I have a confession to make. I did not back out of the garage quite enough. The door came down on the slanted plastic grill & shattered it. This was our 2nd visit to the Car guys, 1st on my dime. They did a fabulous job. It was an expensive error on my part - a 2004 MB SL500. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

AH! Sorry, I misunderstood, please go with the recommendations of the other villagers. I do not have any experience with auto body shops, as I tend to make these repairs on my cars myself.

I've used Brice Kelly on my black mb and he was fantastic and very fair priced. He has photos of his repair work. Looks perfect. (386)216-5185.
brice@cfldentrepair.com. Might see some photos on his web site. I found him on this board a while back. He comes to you. |

The guy we used, on 441, Executive Auto, did a beautiful job on my golf-balled sedan. And then he and his nice building just up and disappeared.
