Call a professional. If you mess with them yourself, you may make them worse, meaning you may pay more down the road. A few questions: Are they creased? And is the painted broken? These are two questions that will come up in the future.

On my coupe it ran $150 for removal of all dings on my L and R door plus my right rear quarter. They usually charge you per panel rather than per ding... $50 a panel is the norm here in OKC. (I had about 7-10 dings per panel) This also preserves the value of your car not having bondo pasted all over it and reduces the risk of rusting from bondo work as well. If you have had previous bondo work, PDR is not possible for that particular panel area. Other than that, PDR is the way to go.

That one may be a challenge to get out because of its location. They give free estimates.:)

i had one almost identical to that one and i got an estimate like 2 years ago. like 80 so probably run ya a 100 these days and dent wizard is the company he worked for he said there all over and most of the time its cheaper if u meet them at a dealership that he is working at so they don't have to go to your house...

i know all about dents.. my poor car went threw a hail storm so you can imagine the dents.. my dad is just going to sand the spots down to metel and put bonda on them since on the whole car there's about 50 or more.. to have the dents taken care of and to respray the car they want $3,000 at an auto body. which is more than what i payed for the car so screw that imma do it myself
