Truck in shop

A few months ago we had a hail storm here in Colorado that did $8000.00 damage to my truck. Well I finally took it into the shop yesterday to be repaired. They are estimating 3 weeks to repair. I am driving my father-in-law's Chevy S-10 pickup while mine is in the shop. WOW, it has only been 1 day and I am already going through withdrawals!!!!!!!! I really miss my truck.

Sounds like they are planning on Bond-o'ing every dent. A good shop will pop them out with dry ice in minutes. My BIL does it. He uses a propane torch and a hunk of dry ice held in a glove. Unless there's a crease or a paint chip, he can take out over 1000 of them and you'll never know it ever happened.

I checked with a couple of paintless dent repair places here in Denver and they said there were too many dents for PDR.It is the roof, hood and the whole left side.
