UCKK is a little far to get to... maybe one could happen up here in the city?

I've got some door dings *grrr* that I'd like to remove...

or could someone make a suggestion? I've used dent wizard before but they are too much $$$$.

It looks like the fourth... err, fifth


update


so i think this is the list so far...

ya i have 2 small dents on my hood that should be no problem to get out. Someone please organize this event.

bushido
09-18-2003, 02:50 PM
oh and try to make it a weekend

Imprezer
09-18-2003, 03:16 PM
I can something up for you guys.

I will need 10 peopl eto sign up, then I can have the dent dude come out.

Kuonji
09-18-2003, 03:26 PM
I've got at least one. I'd be interested.

bushido
09-18-2003, 03:36 PM
I don't think i'll be too hard to get 10 people that want to do it. Thanks Imprezer.

Rat
09-18-2003, 03:45 PM
I'm in!!:D

Got your first dent, huh? Bummer, not too bad is it?

Someone just got my bumper, in the same spot as an SUV already got me... *sigh*

huck
09-18-2003, 03:53 PM
Doah. Somebody pointed out the dent to me. I'm still not sure i really see it but.... <in denial> Count me in!

ScoobyBoy
09-18-2003, 04:06 PM
is it possible to get a dent right on the crease?

bushido
09-18-2003, 06:50 PM
well i'm #3. I believe someone sat on the lip on the hood and put a pretty good one in there. There's also another right next to it i think i caused while washing the car. totally sucks. One stands out like a sore thumb.

Rat
09-18-2003, 07:30 PM
I've got 4 or 5 on my car. Not including the dent from the pipe that hit me on the freeway...:( I got a new fender, now I just need to paint it and put it on. Or not. Maybe I'll wait till I'm gonna get the bumpers repainted...

huck
09-18-2003, 08:48 PM
I say you put it on unpainted. :eek:

Rat
09-18-2003, 08:55 PM

read through it, sounds cool. If we can't get ten people here in the city interested then that might be an option... if they don't mind a WRX crashing their party.


Anyone else interested in this... I think we need seven more people...

huck
09-19-2003, 10:48 AM
Anyone have any idea how much the dent removal costs?

nixwrx
09-19-2003, 10:58 AM
I'd like to be in. Just found a dent on my gas door and drivers door.

Rat
09-19-2003, 11:05 AM
sounds good. Should I put you down as number 4?

Imprezer, how does this work? Do we need to put a deposit down or anything?

nixwrx
09-19-2003, 12:45 PM
Sure, put me in the game coach!

Depending on what day this goes down, it can be done at my place in Daly City. If too big of a crowd, we could move to the school 4 houses away.

shadowcat
09-19-2003, 12:50 PM
hey, doesn't hurt. Might as well put me down for it, too. We have a date yet?

so now we have "6" we're almost there.

Rat
09-19-2003, 09:22 PM
done and done :)

Thanks for the offer nixwrx, sounds good to me.

As far as days go I'm usually good for a Sunday. Or monday/tuesday evening...

huck
09-20-2003, 10:36 AM
I vote for a Sunday.

bushido
09-20-2003, 11:48 AM
i too vote on Sunday. I go to bed REAL early on the weeknights

shadowcat

Sunday is good, just make it around lunch. I get up at 3:30 weekdays to get to work (damn market hours) so I have to get to sleep early.

09-21-2003, 10:43 AM
how much and where in the city?

Rat
09-21-2003, 11:08 AM
dunno how much yet, I think DC sounds good. Lotsa room there, unless we do it somewhere in the city. Somewhere like the parking lot across the street from my place... :)

I'll PM Imprezer to see what the cost is.

bushido
09-22-2003, 03:48 PM
<bump> ya do that. $$$$$ is VERY tight right now.

Rat
09-22-2003, 05:12 PM
no word on the cost yet, hopefully soon... and we still need one more...

bushido
09-22-2003, 07:46 PM
I'll asked a few friends that don't have Subaru's and see if at least one will come along. Don't know if they'd be up for driving down to DC. That's not a problem for me though.

mmboost
09-22-2003, 08:02 PM
I think you could count me in on this... I've got a few but dunno if their fixable. My fiancee's Accord however has a doozy we'd like to get pulled out.

What's the current standings on time & day?

Jason -

If you bring your girlfriend's car that counts as two and as I see it... we have 10.



Rat -
Careful booking too many. If you have 10 and you assume 45-60 minutes (on the high-side) each. We're looking at a late night. :)

Rat
09-22-2003, 10:41 PM
true- duly noted...

looks like 11 to me. I PM'd Imprezer, no word yet...

1fastGC
09-23-2003, 12:27 AM
yo..lets get this rolling ASAP! I just found another f'kin' dent on my car and needs to be pulled ASAP! I also need 2nd opinion on scratched rear bumper as well! argh!

Hello peeps!

I will check with the dent dude if this Sunday is diable.

Will let you know.

The price is TBA by him, but usually it is in the 20-40 range. Everyone deals with him 1-on-1 so you guys have to run him the right way. However, he is cheap when there are more cars. So get more people if possible.

I will update you all tommorow.

Where will the meeting be?

bushido
09-24-2003, 03:21 PM
thanks

1fastGC
09-24-2003, 03:21 PM
yeah where in SF????

huck
09-24-2003, 03:52 PM
The parking lot in front of Rat's would work. It's right where the 101N meets Van Ness. Although it is a tad unscenic. We could always do Ocean Beach or something else.

nixwrx
09-24-2003, 03:58 PM
How about the back of the Serramonte Mall parking lot where the old Montgomery Wards Auto center was?
If we get kicked out of there, we could do it at the school near my house 5 minutes away.

1fastGC
09-24-2003, 06:30 PM
I will be coming from East Bay so the easiest place to find will be better for me.. Serramonte Mall parking lot is easy to find i hope..

bushido
09-24-2003, 06:58 PM
I'm coming from the North bay. I'm down with the spot by Rat's too. Who cares about a view. We'll all be looking at cars anyhow.

Rat
09-24-2003, 07:56 PM
the lot is big enough and very central, really easy to find... however, this sunday is Folsom St. Fair and this entire area will be crazy!!! That and I'm moving... although I will still have this place for a couple of months.

Would next Sunday work for everyone?

huck
09-24-2003, 09:21 PM
I may have to back out, folks. On review, I'm booked solid the next 3 weekends.

1fastGC
09-25-2003, 10:39 AM
lets just do it this sunday! altho the dents on my car are hardly noticeble but damn it! i want them removed NOW!

jesus! Alex said the guy is willing to come out for us and now some of us are backing out? C"mon! lets do it this sunday!

:)

bushido
09-25-2003, 04:47 PM
I'm in the same boat as Huck. the next three weeks totally suck. I'll be WAY out of town for two of them. And the other i'd already made local plans. I was hoping that if this was going to be happening we'ld have more notice.

1fastGC
09-25-2003, 05:00 PM
Its ok.. I went ahead and got the dents pulled by the same guy this morning. haha I had to drive to Marin but hey its worth it!

San Rafael actually.. He fixed for $75 on mine (two dents total, one dent was particularly difficult to do).. I gave him $80 because he was nice enough to squeeze me in last minute!

1-866-321-DENT ask for Justin

morning would be good since this probably takes awhile...

I need to update the list... who's not gonna make it that I haven't already removed from the list?

Anyone else want in...?

nixwrx
09-29-2003, 09:01 AM
I didn't know my wife called Dent Pro to get her Tahoe done and they looked at my dent on the gas tank door. They said, mine couldn't be fixed because of the backing so I'm out.

Rat
09-29-2003, 09:33 AM
bummer about your fuel door... maybe you can replace the whole thing.

huck
09-29-2003, 11:38 AM
Urgh, I feel bad. But I definitely can't do it for at least 3 weeks. I'm out.

Rat
09-29-2003, 01:10 PM
at this rate it may take 3 weeks... ;)

bushido
09-29-2003, 03:56 PM
Well in that case i, like Huck will be able to do it in several weeks. I'll keep checking the thread.

it looks like it as I don't think we have 10 people anymore.

I'm good for this weekend (5th) or next, or the one after that...

shadowcat
10-01-2003, 06:45 AM
This weekend is bad for me, since I am remodelling my new house on Saturday and moving in on Sunday. Next weekend would be better. I REALLY want my dents pulled. :(

I forgot to keep checking this thread. I'm available almost anytime. Think I have a second dent, actually :(

Rat
10-02-2003, 09:24 AM
so it looks like we have eight. Are we thinking the 12th so that everyone can coordinate their schedules? If it's the 12th I would need to be done before noon as I have plans for later on that day, but I could still do it in the morning.

Maybe we should do some kind of deposit to make sure people are serious...

shadowcat
10-02-2003, 11:46 AM
yeah, 12th may work for me.. let me check with my manager to see if I can go out (manager = wife ;) )

So we are on for tommorow? Do we have 10 people for tommorow?

Let me know so I can let dent dude know.

Imprezer
10-04-2003, 10:41 PM
Its too late now. I got 0 responses, so I am officially cancelling it.

This coming Tuesday, the Dent Dude will be at UCKK so if you got dents and want them fixed, come on down.

AdoboUaReX
10-04-2003, 11:04 PM
I'll be goin to the UCKK meet then since its cancelled. Hopefully this dent can get fixed.

wound up moving... just got my connection back up. I'm bummed this didn't happen, we never quite got 10 people to fully commit anyhow. I think I'm gonna call the guy 1fastGC went to.

thanks anyhow for trying to help us out Imprezer.
