    Can anyone recommend a good PDR person in SJ area? Taking pics last night of my newely restored interior on my 328 and lost my balance. The halo (I guess that's what you call it) above head rests, between spoiler and roof panel has a couple of shallow dents due to my elbows. I have since removed the head liner for easy access to repair. I do not want to attempt this myself. So who's the miracle worker in the bay area? I'm sick about what happened and understand this is typicaly an esay fix.

    In the past, I used Malcolm, the "dent artist" on the 911 and an E-type I had. I am not sure if he is still around, try 650 222 2333 (mobile)

    Thanks, I talked to him this morning. He works, lives in Redwood City. He was a little nervous about driving to Cupertino. He was going to try to make it today, haven't heard anything thus far.

    Thanks Luke for the recomendation! Malcom just finished with the repairs. I couldn't be happier with the result. My day was just made! The repair was just flawless and beyound what I thought was possible. Malcom does a lot of the high end cars at Bay area dealerships as well as private owners. He's been doing this for 7 years.

    I wish I would have taken pictures of the before and after. I was just too embarassed in what I did. My car has been returned to whole. I couldn't even think of taking her out less someone would see her this way.

    The price was more than I thought it would be, but well less than any paint and body shop would charge. This is the first time I've used this kind of service and would use it again in the future.

    Glad it worked out.
    I have to give him a call, too. Some gerbil probing, rat kissing progeny of a mutant humanoid put a huge ding in the Barney Boxster (it is the color) when my wife parked it at SCU last week....

    I have used Dent Perfromance and they were great. Brad Treece is the guy that runs it and his # is 408-227-8031

    He took 3 dents total out of two cars (M5 and 360) and charged me $175, this was two years ago.
