Usually the professional paint-less removal people are pretty good... I had one do a dent in my trunk lid; $35 and you couldn't tell it'd ever been there. Thing is that you have to take the door trim off and have the window for him to actually reach the dent from inside. Is it near the middle of the door skin? Is there any paint damage in the dent? The scratch you can "try" to fill in with touch up paint...

it's towards the upper panel. to the right of the door handle. There is a little scratch on my door handle....and i small chip in the middle of the dent. It's no where a big dent, but i do notice it , even when i'm 30 feet away . I also recently discovered a dent on my rear passenger door on the drivers side. Probably from the tight *** parking spaces at school and some idiot opened their door too fast. Man......my car is becoming a golf ball

Sorry to hear... Just try calling up one of those dent repair contractors (mine did work for a bunch of dealerships in the local area) and have them give you an idea of the cost.

Good luck!

I feel your pain, idiots always park close tome even when I park miles away from anybody.

I recently washed my car for the first time after the winter and discover 2 dents on the passenger side door and rear panel. I am going to have them PDR out this Friday. My car is properly detailed and I even got compliments from the dealer's staff while I was in for an oil change today.
