Dent removal?

Hello guys!
There are two dents just on the side (just above the passenger door) of my car.
Anywhere in Toronto that I could get this fixed, and how much should I be looking to pay?

I also have a tiny ding in my hood... -_-

that happened to me a while back... the guy hits my door, (hard) and looks at me... then starts walking away... then tells me after I confront him..

"no no no my friend ... it did nothing to you car."

Dude there is a dent right there (pointing) he then started to walk away again... and I started writing down his plate. He came back and gave me 250 dollars. This was years ago and I was lucky I was there, but I hate the fact that people just dont care and would likely just walk away.

Yeah, whenever I park ANYWHERE, I park really far away.
I had this huge scrape on my front bumper a while back b/c some jackass hit me. And I had at least 3-4 dings on my hood b/c the 401 was being repaired for so long, so stones hit my car every day. "Luckily," i got in a collision... they had to replace my front bumper and hood... Woot. >.>

But yeah, I need a good price to repair my dents...

I got PDR done their is a little thing left but to remove the scratches I used meguires scratch x with a buffer. All PDR does is push the dent back out man I should really learn how to do it.

I seen this before first out like in the 90's don't do it people said that it has removed paint it's like putting hot glue on your car and pulling it. Also the dent must be perfect circle and certain depth.

Co2 + heat is classic I never tried it on my car only on pieces of metal and it did not work. Also with such cold you may destroy or discolour your paint. I did more research again and I found out that the dents again must be a certan size, shape and depth.

i actually used to work with composites and also used to prep cars for paint jobs. 70% of the cost is labour, so if i were you, remove your door panels and pop them back out.

sometimes, depending on where it was dented (hopefully not the creese), it'll pop right back out to shape!

You should atleast try and do your best with a soft blow hammer. Once you think you've done enough bring it to the shop and it should cost you no more than 300$ for a dent
