No respect!?

Hi guys,

I have this '96 GT that I bought new, one month after it was born in Dearborn on 12/13/95. (Actually I was born in Dearborn too...lol.)

It has 72K very gentle miles and has been an AZ car since it was delivered to the dealer.

I'm trying to get somebody...ANYbody...to paint my faded rear bumper...and to paintlessly un-ding some minor door dings. The car is pretty pristine except as noted.

I've made calls...and left messages...explaining my situation. No one ever returns my calls.

I went to a collision repair shop today...the same one that I (and my insurance company) spent $3500+ to repair hail damage on my wife's 2009 Chrysler Sebring Limited convertible last October...and was basically told to hit the road ("We don't paint bumpers.").

Does ANYBODY her have a personal recommendation for a good PDR and/or paint shop?

Thanks all.

Go to Gerber on Broadway and Alma School. I was doing hail work there and my partner still is. Talk to Brian. He can help you out and Ignacio will fix the door dings with paintless dent repair.

I called Claudia, and she's coming out here to Mesa on Saturday to give me a bumper estimate.

She initially balked at the idea of driving out here to the far East Valley ("We only do work in Scottsdale."), but I told her I got a recommendation here at HPS "from the Saleen guy"--- and that sealed the deal.

That's some juice!

Call Bumper Surgeon at 480-516-3410, talk to Jez. He does awesome work, he does a lot of work for big dealerships....Mercedez, BMW, Jaguar etc. Tell him Joel sent you, he'll hook u up. And by the way he is mobile if you need him to come to you.

Done! Ignacio worked his magic, and it couldn't look any better. Highly recommended!

And thanks again for hooking me up.

You are welcome! Glad I could help! Next time any of you need PDR let me know and maybe we can set up a day where we do a BBQ and I fix a bunch of dings.
