Attn: paintless dent repair opinion needed!

hey everyone...

recently got into a lil' accident...Initially went to a body shop and they quoted me >1grand for just this repair pictured...so, I opted to go to a paintless dent repair guy which I'm set to see in a couple days...but after washing it today, the dent doesn't seem to be just a dent...there's a crack on the bottom which I hope is evident in the last few pics...







would it still be repairable via pdr?

They might have a hard time getting it perfect on that body line. Aside from that, I think PDR will cause the paint to crack even more. Either they'll do it but won't gaurentee that it will look good, or they won't even touch it.

You should just get some carbon fiber doors

SOme of those scratches can come out via a detailer who knows what he/she is doing, but where the paint is cracked tha car may start to rust, so i would say no. Sorry

Shop around.... see if you can get it fix for a lil cheaper...but you know what they said, you get what you pay for.

Pdr can fix it but you will still have the crack so you best get a bodyshop to straight it up and fill the gash and repaint it.
