So my wife backed my model s into another car and the side panel above the bumper got dented pretty bad.
I was resigned to the fact that the panel would need to be replaced which according to others with similar damage would cost $4000-7000 in Tesla authorized shop.
Decided to look into dent extraction even though I have been told aluminum would be very difficult.
I contacted Rich at Auto Recon Express in Irvine, CA.
He came to my house, worked in my garage and the pictures speak for themselves.
I can't believe the results. I never would have thought it was possible even with steel let alone aluminum. He said not many will be experienced enough to fix a dent like mine but thank God for Rich.
My dent was particularly difficult.
Just wanted to share for all those in Southern California as any dent simpler than mine can be fixed for 1/10 the price of replacement.
I told Rich to contact the Costa Mesa Service center to let them know about his services. To me it's a win win. I am not sure about the rules for posting but if I am able to post his contact info I can do that if someone gives me an ok.
