Subject:Since it is Friday

A couple of months ago I purchased a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro Avant (station
wagon) to replace my 2006 Mazda 6 wagon that was written off in an accident
this last February.  Between my Syncro, which I continually pour over
GoWesty, VanCafe and other sites to replace parts and pieces and complete
repairs and upgrades to, and a new (to me) car which has a few broken
interior things that I have successfully fixed along with adding new tires
- I have to admit I have been very successful at spending my earnings.

Anyway I had 2 small dents on the Audi that were bothering me - otherwise
the paint and body is very straight and in great shape.  After getting
several quotes from traditional body shops - I contacted a mobile repairer
who came yesterday and spent an hour and a half to tap out the dents.  As a
result you cannot tell they ever existed and the paint looks good and the
cost was a 1/3 of what I was quoted.  The work completed very quickly
without having to drop off the car and pick it up a week later - or
whenever they could schedule the work.

If you have some small dings or dents that bother you - but don't seem
worth it to fix at a body shop, you may want to consider this route as an
alternative.  Dent Craft Canada is the company I went with here in
Vancouver.
