Hi Rhonald,
Back before I moved to AZ in 1999, there were several... One east of
Rockville Pike on Montrose Road in Rockville and one in No Va, but I
don't remember exactly where. The Greater Washington Section (MBCA)
held a couple of Tech Sessions at their facilities.........
Try doing a Google on "Paintless Dent Removal" and Maryland or
Virginia.......
Are you an MBCA member??? Just curious.......
Take care,
Chuck

Brian,
I've used Paintless Dent Removal several times... aka Dent
Doctor... depends on the locale. Usually $60 + per dent depending
on size... Once upon a time, my 300SD suffered over 80 dents from
falling acorns. Paid IIRC about $600, but they all disappeared. One
caveat is that paint can't be cracked...
These outfits "massage" the dent in the metal from behind using
variously shaped "spoons" and can "encourage" it back into its
original shape. A vertically mounted fluorescent tub is used to
sight indentations/variations in the surface. Most dealerships
employ a "Dent Doctor" to remove dents on new cars incurred during
shipping.
I recall that a set of these tools was available for about $50.
But, I just Googled "Dent Removal Tools" and a whole bunch of places
are selling them. They are a lot pricier now. I know of a few
people that made their own using some blank round stock, with a
hammer and anvil to shape the tool that they needed.
HTH,
Chuck

I assume that "dent pusher" is old-tyme slang for body shop? Afraid
I don't
have nearly enough disposable income to go that route.
