Dent Wizard is not a fix all kind of thing.. In my own experience, I bought a new 2002 Ford F 350 Diesel 4 door, 4X4 pickup, Out the door price a bit over $58,000, full coverage insurance [of course].
Fast forward 60 days, hail storm, windshield cracked in two places.. 18 hail dents in roof, 22 in hood. New windshield, new hood.. Dent Wizard repair on roof damage cost ran a bit over $3,400, plus shop labor to remove / replace headliner to access bottom of dents. Total dent repair cost for roof alone came to over $4,200. The truck bed was saved because it had a fiberglass camper shell on it which was also replaced. Total bill after two weeks in shop came to a bit over $11,000. I would expect shop rates have gone up since 2002, so to repair the hail damage on this vintage Mercedes, out of pocket costs would run something above that number, so a $6,000 purchase + say, $12,000 repair and repaint... NO....
