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.

  • 10 terrible wedding songs

    A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist. Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content. Here are 10 songs that sound romantic but should be avoided. 10) Irreplaceable – Beyoncé Don't mistake this for being

    We are creatures of the air-con

    I've often wondered: How much work would get done today if offices were not air-conditioned? What if the only air-con we could enjoy was only in shopping malls and supermarkets? Images of stuffy offices fill my mind. Despite the availability of fans to circulate air, the oppressive heat and humidity will lower our productivity. Many of my colleagues and I experienced this in our previous office, where the ancient air-conditioning system would have a monthly breakdown. For two days, the
