Or is this just a free for all like all the other car things I've been to.

I've only had the car for 3 weeks so not sure what to expect...

show up around the time you are supposed to get the dent done, 15 mins before would be great just in case he gets done with the other cars first so he can start on yours.

So for dents on my front passenger fender I'm assuming I need to remove the black fender liner in the wheel well correct?

Yeah, I have some simple, and possibly obvious questions, but I'd rather be properly prepared.

My dents are on the roof and the piece that arcs up over the doors, so I should have the headliner pulled off before arriving?

Secondly the rims can still have the tires mounted, but do they have to be off the car, or can they be on? (If off I'll take them off when I arrive, as I have no other set of wheels)

Thanks in advance.

It really depends on how bad the dents are. The ones on the roof should be alright, but they may have to pull the headliner if it's a nasty dent.

As for the C-pillar/above door area - that can get pricey. I can't speak for the people holding the event, but when I had a PDR guy look at mine (dent on the upper top C Pillar, where a roof rack foot would sit) he said that it'll be impossible to 'pop' out. That area typically has two layers of metal which makes it difficult to PDR.

More than likely they'd have to see it in person to do an estimate.

There's a phone number listed in the OP. Give them a call to see what they say.

Yeah I had severe curb rash on one of my wheels where a fair amount of material was gone, and they look brand new now. Money well spent. Nice to meet you guys as well!
