This Guy Does Great Paintless Dent Repair

[-= SKiZO =-]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a recommendation for a paintless dent repair guy - Matt(mattymagoo22) - who came out and did an awesome job on my V35. I had a 2 door dings + 1 medium + 1 large area, all gone. He actually did it a few months back, and I'm happy to say that I haven't been able to pick any of the repaired spots since. So top work Matt! He does this for a living, but came out on a Saturday arvo to do mine.

It's pretty amazing watching him work, I could tell he takes pride in his work and took considerable care making sure the job was done properly. He told me that since one of the dents was on a crease in the door, he wouldn't be able to fix it 100%, but I swear I try and find where the damage was, but can't see it at all(and I am picky). Very reasonable cost too. If you have some dents that you've been putting off getting fixed cause you are worried about the cost, don't even hesitate.

Good stuff, can I ask how much he charged? Might need a few pulled out of my car. thx.

Hey mate, I won't put it in the thread as every job is different. I'm happy as it would have cost me a heap more through smash repairs. PM him for your job, he's a good bloke.

G'day people. I have been flat out and haven't had the chance to get online in a while. At the moment i'm tied up fixing hail damaged cars for my employer. The other employee, in the company, is going on holidays for the whole of October, so this will make finding time to repair any dents you have very difficult for the next month at least. I really don't want to be doing too much work on the weekends as 70+ hours repairing dents a week gets me pretty buggered.

Feel free to PM me with details of the vehicle, age, colour, location and size of dent(s). If you can send a picture as well then that is very helpful.

I must stress that not all dents are repairable, however, I will do my best to explain why it isn't or why it won't be 100% and what the end result will look like.

People often ask me how much to fix their dents, not many people ask about the quality of the repairs I do. There are many hacks out there that will try to repair your dents for prices starting at $30, often we get calls after people like them have attempted repairs and failed and they want us to fix it. Most of the time we can't undo what they have already done. So if you want it done right, I will get it done properly the first time. Older cars can be difficult as the paint gets brittle as the car ages.

As SKIZO mentioned every dent is different, my prices start from $50 per panel and that is a special price for SAU members.

Without going into too much detail I work on BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo, Peugeot, VW, Subaru, Toyota, Honda and many more.

A big thank you to SKIZO I'm really glad you are happy with the repairs I did.

If I fix dents for someone with a decent camera i'll try to get some pics up, it doesn't really do justice to my work though, video is the best way to show my work but it is very time consuming and takes 2 people, too much hassle.

Cheers Matt.

I have PM'd mattymagoo regarding fixing a dent on my car and the guy is no BS straight up. Top bloke that's extremely honest and seems to have the heart in the job.

I haven't actually gone ahead with his quote yet because money has been tight but just wanted to add the guy is really nice, and seems to have the heart in the job and is obsessed with quality of repairs. He even managed to tell me how my dent will look after he finished with it from just a couple of close up shots via PM.

I will get that dent on the roof fixed one day matt! Lol...just money is tight atm.

[PIG747]

Matty does work for my work and even did our mates r33 and the quality of work he does is fantastic.

Cannot recommend him enough...

Hey Matt,

I've been told aluminium panels are harder to pull dents out. Is that true?

[mattymagoo22]

Hey Matt,

I've been told aluminium panels are harder to pull dents out. Is that true?

Absolutely. It takes a long time just to learn how to fix dents in steel. Aluminium is another kettle of fish all together. There are a lot of techs that won't attempt aluminium as it usually takes twice the time or more than that of a dent in steel, and the chance for making an irreversible mistake is much more likely as well. Aluminium will work harden a lot faster than steel so really sharp dents often aren't repairable, as the finish of the paint will be compromised or the aluminium simply won't move, so unless that panel is being painted which is called PTP (push-to-paint) the repair will have pinpricks and the area of the dent may also crack( cracked paint will also occur in sharp or tight areas in steel too).

Hope that answers your question, cheers Matt.

Thanks for that Matt, that's a great explanation. I had aluminium panels repaired (or should I say, tried to) years ago and the guy said no problems. When he tried to do them, it ended up worse than what it was. Obviously I was really pissed.

I have another car that needs a few dents pulled out, not aluminium thank god. can you pm me when you have time to come out? I'm in Hornsby area, or I can come to you.

thanks

Thats a shame, some guys have no idea that the panel is even aluminium and they ruin the job in the first couple of pushes.

I did an aluminium bonnet on a BMW X5 today which was black in colour( to make the job even more difficult) you really need to take it slow when working with it. I'll contact you soon, if I don't just send me a reminder and we'll try to organise a time and i'll see what can be done.

Can I ask what it is that you were trying to have repaired when it all went so horribly wrong?

Cheers Matt.

[mxfly]

Sure. It was my first bnr34 that had dents on the front guards when I imported it. Made it farking so much worse that it was!

I'll pm if I don't hear from you in the next couple of weeks.

thanks

Sorry mate got a wedding on sunday. I will try to get there to have a look this week but don't hold me to that, if it was a quick job I'd do it on the spot, but that job would take 2-3 hours at least, if its doable, so if I do it at your place you can still occupy yourself while I work otherwise i'd get you to bring it to me.

All jobs I do for people on this forum will have to be done after work hours, I work for somebody and can't take time out of the hours he employs me to earn money for myself, so please try to bear with me as I work long hours and have a family that I need to spend time with also.

Cheers Matt.

I've tried to organise a Ding Day with JDMST but the site owner has ignored my email. I was proposing a day on a weekend. There was a huge turnout from last event and i'm sure there will be the same amount of interest.

If you're keen to do this on a spare weekend (either day) Matt, we can try and get something organised.

[mattymagoo22]

Yeah Slim tried to get a day happening a while ago but the place we were going to do it fell through. I asked the other guy I work with last time and he said he'd be keen to work as well. All we need is a shaded area with not too much glare from surrounding objects and cars to work on. So yeah if you organise it would be happy to attend and show you guys what we can do.

Cheers Matt.
