Where can I get my fenders rolled?

Can anybody recommend a good body shop? I called a few places, but they didn't know what I was talking about. Oakland area, preferrably.

i rolled mine last night... was not fun at all, but it came out ok, just one little spot that needs some lovin from a dent wizard, but other then that was not a fun experience.

I know a guy that has the fender rolling machine in SJ. He'll do it for you at his garage. I did mine a while ago and came out really nice and smooth. Just PM me if you need his info.

I rolled mine about 2 years ago.. just make sure you cut a nice sharp line with a razon at the point of the bend, that'll prevent your paint from cracking...

then just use a heat gun, support the fender, and roll away with a pipe or a bat..

just remember to take your time..

There's nobody closer to Oakland that can do it? I don't really want to take half a day off work for this. And I don't have a basebal bat

fender rolling is just bending some of the metal on the wheel well up so that you won't rub when you put on wider tires
