Well, I was in Miami partying on the 4th of July weekend when someone decided to party on the hood of my A4 on the weekend back in Maryland (where I live). I looked up the archives and contacted a local Dent Wizard. <p>There are two dents on the hood along the contour lines (to the left and right of the middle) on either side. They are about "elbow" sized and I presume people sat on it. In any case, the local Dent Wizard gave me an estimate of $250.<p>Based on the comments in the archive it seems worth it, but am I paying too much? I saw some posts which said that per door/panel (around 8 dents in that case) the cost was only $80 from a Dent Wizard location.<p>Responses are appreciated. Thanks.<p>Regards,<br>Menta

Honestly, I doubt you'll get it fixed for less than $250 anywhere, and having the dents in the "character creases" of the hood I'd just buy a new hood.<p>I just got a new decklid fairly inexpensively ($300?) and a hood might be a bit more expensive but at least you'd get a perfect part instead of a "fixed" one.<p>Cameron<br>

Another idea . . . <br>Try to find an area/city/county that has recently suffered a hail storm, or 'sit tight' until something hits locally and then take your car to a Dent Wizard or similar paintless dent removal shop. Generally those type of repair shops literally 'decend' on a hail area a few days after it happens and things get really competitive really fast . . . .Had my dents repaired (non-A4), and was very happy with the results.

I didn't know it got that hot in MD?<p>'pulling my chain' . . . eh? I don't like the sound of that at all . . . .
