In the blink of an eye, my car has been serving me for about 1 yr and 10 months. Dent marks are showing on its body, just like pimples on a growing teenager. These dents are becoming an eye sore to me and I decided to send it to PDR to get them fixed, after reading the good comments about the workmanship at Vagsg.com.

The boss at PDR is Winston. When a customer car arrives, he marks out the dents with a marker and explains to the customer the % recovery that he can do for each dent (to set the expectation right I suppose). The above dent is located on the left fender.

After marking out the dent, he will choose the best tool to access the dent and push it out from within. He is very careful when doing the repair work. Below is another photo of Winston repairing a dent on the door panel.

Each dent takes about 5 to 8 minutes to be done up, depending on the severity and how accessible the location of the dent is. Below is the right fender, after repair work has been done. It is pretty well done, definitely more than 90% resemblance of the showroom condition.

However, Winston is not god and there are some dents that he could not access, such as the one on the upper portion of the door panel as indicated below. He explained that suction may be required but this may warp the door panel as a result. I respect his professional judgment and leave the dent as it is.

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even
