PDR and scratch removal in Tampa

Buying a used SS with some surface scratches and a dent in the back drivers side pillar. Looking for PDR and a great retailer who can fix the scratches, dent and some minimal chips in the Tampa Bay Area. Live in Riverview work in Westshore, any suggestions?

I literally spent 5 minutes going, "This moron can't add a PDR!"

Then I realized...

It'd be over the bridge for you but...

https://www.dentworks-pdr.com/
(727) 580-2955

I went with a friend who wanted some dings removed. Seen some "afters" that looked like nothing happened but, I have know idea what it looked like originally. Watched a minor removal in progress and it was pretty cool watching the dent slowly go away.

Friend is still driving around dinged up so, no feedback from him. Clean shop though and if I needed PDR work, I'd give them a shot.

If you are looking for PDR and paint correction with Ceramic coating call Ryan Burroughs at Autopaint Guard in Tampa. He may be able to help you. Tell him Kevin sent you. He has done all the PPF applications on all my cars. I believe they have a dent guy in house.

+2 for elite. Guy is nice and comes out to you. He's done two of my cars. Only thing is he has raised his price somewhere around 150~ however he does excellent work.

I've used Elite in the past. He is definitely not cheap, but he comes to you and he takes his time to get it looking brand new. Had a chrome bumper back into my car, leaving a large 3-way crease in the panel and you can't see a trace of it. Unfortunately to get the tools in the right place he did have to tap a hole in the door jamb above the striker. But he did plug it after so it wouldn't allow water intrusion behind the panel.

I did send a buddy to Elite months back and never showed up to his house in Wesley Chapel to do the work, even when he was quota an extra fee for the trip. I think he is just too busy now to take jobs outside of St Pete and Tampa centers, people at the outer reaches of Tampa Bay seem to be SOL as to whether he'll show up.

If you have a lot of work that needs to get done and you don't want to get quoted a small fortune, then you can hit your nearest large lot dealer and ask the service manager when their PDR guy makes their scheduled stop(s) there. Arrange your schedule to show up then and ask them what they would charge while you are there during his normal appointment. They will typically give you a very attractive price to squeeze out extra work during those visits and you can see how well he does on a dealer car first before you decide whether to have him work on yours.
