Hyundai makes some of the most affordable vehicles on the market these days. We get a lot of calls about Hyundai cars, and this particular repair, was on an Elantra. The owner of this particular car, we’ll call him Jim, had no experience with paintless dent repair. He happened on our website by searching Google for repair shops. While Dave did his own research, he still had some questions and wasn’t sure paintless dent repair was an option. Jim gave us a call, and through our conversation we learned that Jim had backed into another vehicle while pulling out of a parking spot. He was really upset that after years of a perfect driving record, he now had a “blemish”. While we took the time to listen Jim and his questions and concerns, we prepared an estimate for him (he had texted pictures of the damaged quarter panel). We assured him we could do a great repair that he’d be very pleased with. ***As Always, we stand behind our work 100% and if you’re not happy, you don’t pay!***
You can see in the before and after pictures of Jim’s Hyundai Elantra. It wasn’t a gnarly crazy dent, but it wasn’t small either. It also included damage to the body line. We were able to “Glue Pull” the majority of the dent from the outside, and then complete the detail work by removing the taillight to get access from behind. Jim was very happy with his repair, and we had another happy customer!

Check out this video from way back! It’s an oldie but a goodie. Just another example of what type of repair paintless dent repair can do when paired with an exceptional technician.
We have worked on all types of Hyundais. One memorable repair was for a sweet older lady. We’ll call her Marsha. She drives a 2022 Hyundai Kona. Really pretty blue. She paid cash for the vehicle and told us this was going to be the last car she buys, and it was her baby. She loves it! Well, Marsha went away for a weekend trip. She parked her Kona under some oak trees. After her weekend, she got back to her car and It Was Riddled with tiny dents caused by the falling acorns! Marsha was so upset her car wasn’t perfect anymore. She contacted her insurance company who sent someone to do a preliminary estimate. She said he didn’t even look at her car for but for 10 minutes. She called Dent Repair Now and we had her bring her Kona to us for inspection. It is common for a preliminary estimate from the insurance company to be on the low side, but when we went over her car, and noted every dent on each panel. When we were done, it was almost triple their original amount. Marsha was really upset and worried that she would be on the hook for the difference in the repair cost. We assured her she would only be responsible for deductible. We filed a supplement with her insurance company. We were able to work with them and get Marsha’s car back to it’s condition before the acorn debacle. Marsha was absolutely thrilled with our work and as always, we had another happy customer.
