Dent help!!

Anyone know a way to fix this little dent. I was thinking about one of those paintless dent removal companies. Anyone done that before if so how much was it?

Dent Wizzard... Works great.
If you check Mitsu - they may be able to hook you up with a new-car offer... Depends on how nice you were to your dealer.

Don't try to do the paintless dent repair on your own, just call one of the paintless guys to do it. If there is no crease and some kind of access to the back of the dent, then they should be able to get a nice result. If you pull the panel and try to push it out without proper technique, you could mess it up to where the paintless guy won't be able to fix it very nice.

Back when I was working collision, there was a paintless guy that came out to fix a dent that was too small for the shop to warrant the expense of having one of us fix it(paint shop helper hit it with a broom). Took the guy a little while to get the slight crease from the broom handle out, but it looked damn near perfect when he was done.

Don't know what he charged, but I know the painted pinstripe guy that came to the shop charged $60 for the first panel and $30 for each additional panel. Using that as a yard stick, I'd say a paintless guy would cost around $60 to $90 to fix yours. That's just a guess though, I know anything they charge will be cheaper than having a bodyshop fix it.

I've actually heard really good things about the dent removal products on TV. I heard them from bodyshop guys with a lot of experience though. I wouldn't try it with my lack of experience but maybe you have more confidence than I do.
