    As the title states, any good PDR guys in the area. My buddies car was involved in a hit and run and the damage doesn't look too bad.

    Misha, Billy and Phil, do you guys have a PDR guys you go to?

    I have also heard great things about these guys. I was recommended this shop when I lived in Quakertown (even though it was quite a drive).

    I didn't have the best experience with the shop Carisma that I went to for a small repair on my bumper. The overspray they put all over the car was horrible.

    carisma paint shop and Mike Murphy is 2 different ppl even though they are under same company. carisma as paint is not the greatest, wouldnt go to them either. But Mike Murphy is best in the area. Please dont confuse them
    you get what you pay for.

    if you went to Cavallo down the road you wouldnt have any problems with paint, they are one of the best if not the best in the area, had seen many body shops works, cavallo was the best even though they still dont know how to finish after wetsanding and buffing but trust me when i say they are better then any other shop in the area who do volume work

    Sorry I couldn't be of help. Only PDR guys I know of are the guys I contract at work, and I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. I'm actually looking for a really good pdr guy myself to take care of an extremely small ding on my drivers side quarter. Let me know who you end up going with and how it turns out, as I have a customers sometimes inquiring about good PDR as well.

    Wow! these guys look legit. I've never heard of the dent olymics before but if your a winner you must be doing something right.

    Whats the name of the place? I'll pass it along to my buddy to give him some more option. If they are good I dont think he'll have a problem traveling.

    I'll be sure to let you know. My other friend that flips cars on the side has a few PDR guys but their work is not the greating and this dent would need an extremely experienced person.

    Here is a picture of the dent. Its got two creases in it but it doesn't seem like it would be to hard.

    From the picture ... they will be able to improve it, but they can't get rid of the dents that are closest to the wheel opening (I'm assuming here) area. PDR can not repair dents at hemmed areas (where the inner sheetmetal & outer sheetmetal are joined/married).

    not guys, only 1 guy. he works alone pretty much, i have seen some other guy there but he might be an aprentice or something but he doesnt do any work right now. Mike usually came to our shop(our shop wall was his back wall as well) and either fixed the dent or told us if it can be done and what is needed. sometimes he could not do it becouse there was another sheet of metal under outer panel and we didnt know if our customer was comfortable with having holes on inner panel. wish i had before and after pics

    No offense. I have had work done by Cavallo and they are on par with other shops in the area. Nothing mind blowing. The best shop I have come across is the one that painted my 67 Nova. Bill's Auto Body in Morton, Pa. Their work is fantastic in my book.

    just speaking from what i have seen done by both shops, one shop who did Nicks car (some coach works in west chester) and cavallo who did my friends STI, also seen detail work done by others who claimed to be the best and that something could not be done that we had to fix, so everybodys experience would be different but overall i know who to sent high end cars to get body work done.

    i heard there was guy in area who was best at painting but not sure if he still around
