Default First dent

Raining and windy here last night....parked under a big oak tree and this morning I found a stick about the size of my arm laying on the hood. Looks like it hit the hood in two places. Paint isn't chipped....maybe the Dent Wizard guys can fix it....

Dent Wizard can fix those dings, you will never know they were there.

I know the feeling. Had my Lariat for three days when while parked in my stall at my appartment some low account landscaper starts grinding away a stump about 30 feet away from my truck. The grinder kicked up a stone and put a dent and chip right above the F150 logo on the left front fender. =-O

Ouch, that's no good. I got my first dent last week, had my dart case sitting on my bumper opened my tailgate and the corner of the case put a small dent in it. Some how it survived two hail storms yesterday without so much as a tiny dent.

Just had my hood done from hail. I paid little more though since hood was aluminum, guy had to take hood off of truck and take back panel off from under hood to work dents out. He did say though most people shy away from our type of hoods. You could never tell though and I had around 10 dime to quarter size dents in it.

Yeah this^ is why i posted i was interested to see how this works out. The PDR guy we use at my shop will only do certain size dents on aluminum hoods.

Were it mine...... I would take it to my State Farm agent who would be terribly sympathetic, tell me that branches falling from trees are an act of God and not covered and then give his little FU laugh and smirk.

Then I would go get the PDR guy to fix it for $100 or $200 and it'll be good as new.
