^^^ Your suggestion of a DING-DAY and suitable for Matt on a weekend would be very popular Eugene.

(One of your great ideas like the R34 10th Anniv. last year.)

Whether it be...

a) an excursion to a workshop and Matt 'talks as he works'

b) a cruise to a shady destination > bbq + day out for Matt's family

c) just separate booking times over a day in a workshop

Any thoughts?

Just finished clay-baring the whole car. Dent free and smooth as silk. It's really a liberating feeling having a dent free car for once! Thanks Matt. Not even a hint that any work was done. Paint on mine needs major paint correction though. Crappy OE Nissan paint. Oh well, no time to fix it before Sunday.

Sorry I just read this lol.

All your suggestions are very valid indeed. I was thinking of Northshore Prestige Motors in Balgowlah (near Manly) to host the ding day. There's ample parking for 40 plus cars. There's a park with bbq facilites practially right next door, or we can organise the bbq indoors.

Only times I can arrange it is on Saturdays.

What do people think.

Guys I only have 2 free saturdays until next year, one of them I have to go to dentist, so is next year too far away?

I can't really talk about the method I use to repair dents, I have signed a contract saying that I will not disclose work methods, sounds silly but thats why we have the edge on other companies that do PDR.

If there are 2 of us working on the day I wouldn't book in anymore that 10 cars each, some cars may take 2 minutes, others could take hours all depends on the dent.

Cheers Matt.

G'day people. I have been flat out and haven't had the chance to get online in a while. At the moment i'm tied up fixing hail damaged cars for my employer. The other employee, in the company, is going on holidays for the whole of October, so this will make finding time to repair any dents you have very difficult for the next month at least. I really don't want to be doing too much work on the weekends as 70+ hours repairing dents a week gets me pretty buggered.

Feel free to PM me with details of the vehicle, age, colour, location and size of dent(s). If you can send a picture as well then that is very helpful.

I must stress that not all dents are repairable, however, I will do my best to explain why it isn't or why it won't be 100% and what the end result will look like.

People often ask me how much to fix their dents, not many people ask about the quality of the repairs I do. There are many hacks out there that will try to repair your dents for prices starting at $30, often we get calls after people like them have attempted repairs and failed and they want us to fix it. Most of the time we can't undo what they have already done. So if you want it done right, I will get it done properly the first time. Older cars can be difficult as the paint gets brittle as the car ages.

As SKIZO mentioned every dent is different, my prices start from $50 per panel and that is a special price for SAU members.

Without going into too much detail I work on BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo, Peugeot, VW, Subaru, Toyota, Honda and many more.

A big thank you to SKIZO I'm really glad you are happy with the repairs I did.

If I fix dents for someone with a decent camera i'll try to get some pics up, it doesn't really do justice to my work though, video is the best way to show my work but it is very time consuming and takes 2 people, too much hassle.

Cheers Matt.

Hi Matt,

I'll PM you in a sec.

Just wondering if you're still in this line of work? If so, I need you if you can massage out a few dents in a workshop at Rydalmere.

It has fluoro lights, and the car will remain there for the next 4 days.

If not, is there anyone else here in Sydney that you SAUers recommend and can make it out (with your tools) to Rydalmere?

My appreciation in advance since my previous dent removalist is now a chef.

Terry

Hey Terry I'm not quite sure if these guys go onsite, I have only taken my car to their workshop... They are in Taren Point so might a bit of a hike. Cant fault the work though, had about 6 small dents pulled out of the passenger door on my 200 and can't find any trace of them.

Their website is http://www.cjdent.com.au

There were 8+ dents on this rear quarter panel alone. Plus 4 on the FR quarter.

Matt took from 10am till 2pm to massage them all out at JLM's premises. And one of JLM's workers, a former panelbeater - Maurice, said that Matt was really meticulous.

Before seeing the job and from the description I gave, Matt quoted between $300-350. Whilst he still had an hour to go, he said $280. I offered $300. But he insisted on $280 for the 12 dents. Magic!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
