Dave there is no shame in trying to fix it yourself, but knowing when to hire a professional takes discipline! PDR technicians have changed the auto body repair industry for the better!

Good results! It's a real push-pull technique: flatten the top and suck out the dent from the pole. Kathy must be much happier now. So fun to see Bailey again!

Funny to see your video today. We took possession of our MY on the 20th and got hit by door in a parking lot 8 days later and dealt with someone like your guy. It does not show anymore. We are so happy with the result.

Hi Dave, I am glad you went with a Paintless Dent Repair Technician to repair the Model 3. No Insurance Claim and definitely far less out of pocket compared to going to a Auto Body Shop. The other thing to take into consideration is that it is the leading edge of the vehicle where rock and paint chips will occur due to the horrible road here in the CT / NY Metro Area. Good Job!

@nihongobenkyoshimasu31908 ай бұрын
Great Job. Look perfect to me. Note: Your are lucky that the problem was with the front bumper. In the case of the Model Y rear bumper, part of the hatch is flush with the bumper. So both the rear plastic bumper and the metal door hatch can be damaged when hitting an obstacle.

Nice job 👍 Thanks Dave. I dinged up our Model Y hatch and had the dent repair done. Thankfully, the PPF protected the paint. Big thanks to the gang at Unique Auto here in Toronto for keep our car looking brand new.

Jay Leno in one of the episodes on Jay Leno's Garage KZbin channel once said the car is new until first scratch. If visually the scratch disappeared then the owners should be happy.

Money. Tesla saves an estimated $114 per car by removing ultrasonic sensors which x 2 million cars theyre likely to sell this year amounts to more then $200 million in cost reduction. And they are priotizing profits and cost over decreased customer experience thats probably not deal breaking in the sale

Great repair job! I need some insight on curb rash repairs on Tesla wheels. Not wishing Kathy wheel damage, but if they happen to be scraped and you can do some videos on the repair process, that would be helpful to me. I heard you can order matched paint to spray over the curb rash but need more info on that. Thanks again for another interesting video, Dave.
