s unexpected, yet damaging hailstorm can take advantage of Dent Wizard’s first rateservices, which remove hail damage, dings, minor dents, and creases without compromising the factory finish of the vehicle.

At Dent Wizard we take pride in preserving the appearance of your vehicle, as well as the value. We strongly believe our services produce the highest-quality results and are the most cost-effective solution for hail damage repair in the affected Wisconsin area. We are focused on getting these damaged vehicles back in shape and back on the road as quickly, and efficiently as possible,” said Dean Christian, Dent Wizard Midwest Regional Vice President.

Repairing vehicles damaged by hail storms is at the heart of Dent Wizard’s services. Dent Wizard sends hail catastrophe teams to mobilize in affected areas in as little as twenty-four hours after hail storms hit. Dent Wizard’s hail damage repair services can usually be completed within a day or two and at a fraction of the cost of traditional repair methods. A rare advantage of Dent Wizard is that they have employees on the ground year round, unlike the typical 'hail chasers' that are brought in for a storm and move on once the damage is under control.

Wisconsin’s April storm brought hail as large as golf balls to the Madison and Middleton areas. Dent Wizard’s hail technicians are specially trained and ready to handle even the most destructive hail damage, as these Wisconsin cities encountered on Sunday.

Icahn, Dish, liquidators vie for Blockbuster

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, Dish Network and a pair of liquidation firms are among the bidders for video-rental chain Blockbuster in an auction Tuesday morning at U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York.

The auction process is ongoing. Other bidders include a joint bid by liquidation firms Gordon Brothers Group and Hilco Merchant Resources, SK Telecom and a group of debtholders led by Monarch Alternative Capital LP.

At a break in the process on Tuesday, the debtholder group had the highest bid at $290 million including the assumption of $11.5 million in debt.

The bankruptcy auction will decide the fate of the Dallas movie-rental chain.

The successful buyer or buyers could continue to operate the chain in full or part or liquidate the company, pressing "stop" on the stores that brought movie night to millions of families.

When Blockbuster, based in Dallas, filed for bankruptcy protection, it was down to 3,000 stores, less than a third of the peak of 9,100 in 2004. There are about 2,400 currently open with plans to close about 700 more by mid-April.

Icahn was part of the group of debtholders that provided Blockbuster financing to operate while in bankruptcy in September. Everyone in that group except for Icahn, is part of the bidding group of debtholders led by Monarch, called Cobalt Video Holdco LLC.

Blockbuster used to dominate the U.S. movie rental business. But it lost money for years as that business declined because customers shifted to Netflix Inc., video on demand and DVD rental kiosks.

The auction is expected to be complete before a sale approval hearing scheduled for Thursday.
