A couple of months ago I purchased a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro Avant (station wagon) to replace my 2006 Mazda 6 wagon that was written off in an accident this last February. Between my Syncro, which I continually pour over GoWesty, VanCafe and other sites to replace parts and pieces and complete repairs and upgrades to, and a new (to me) car which has a few broken interior things that I have successfully fixed along with adding new tires - I have to admit I have been very successful at spending my earnings.

Anyway I had 2 small dents on the Audi that were bothering me - otherwise the paint and body is very straight and in great shape. After getting several quotes from traditional body shops - I contacted a mobile repairer who came yesterday and spent an hour and a half to tap out the dents. As a result you cannot tell they ever existed and the paint looks good and the cost was a 1/3 of what I was quoted. The work completed very quickly without having to drop off the car and pick it up a week later - or whenever they could schedule the work.

If you have some small dings or dents that bother you - but don't seem worth it to fix at a body shop, you may want to consider this route as an alternative. Dent Craft Canada is the company I went with here in Vancouver.
