Terrific service, terrific job done, terrific price! I went to a highly-regarded body shop to get an estimate to remove a dent in my wife’s 13-year-old Kia but the process they wanted to deploy would have cost nearly $2k (dent removal, painting, clear-coat finish, etc). So the estimator suggested I go to Duke City Dent to see if they could just remove it. So I did. James at Duke City Dent (he’s been in the biz for 25 years) looked at the damage and said he was sure he could remove 90-95% of the it and no painting would be required, and he could do it for $400. I read a bunch of the Google reviews of DCD (all good to great) and decided to let James do the work. If you didn’t know where to look, you wouldn’t be able to see where the dent was. AWESOME JOB FOR VERY REASONABLE PRICE! Highly recommended! NOTE: I asked 4 other dent removal businesses for quotes. Two said they couldn’t get the dent out so passed. The other two wanted more than double what Duke City Dent quoted.
