Getting A Dent Fixed

Getting A Dent Fixed
I have a relatively small dent in my door. I wan to get it popped out somewhere. Should I take it to one of those paintless dent repair places? Or someplace like Meineke, or the Honda dealer?
I also have a few other minor issues that I want to get fixed, but have put off in favor of putting the money elsewhere. These are the headlights-are-left-on-buzzer, the domelight-when-the-door-opens thing, a "sticky" lock when the door is ajar, and a-needs-to-be-adjusted-trunk-latch.
Nothing urgent, but I wouldn't mind cutting a deal somewhere.

hey sorry no one has reply'd!
uhh try getting the dent out your self! save some money man. i am sure there are tons of diy threds! take a picture of how bad it actualy is and we can help you out better. as for your locks are sticky mine are too! when you figure it out let me know. because i the passenger side doesnt open from the out side. only from the inside. and it started off by being "sticky"
good luck!
oh and take some pictures

I was hoping I could pay some one $50-80 to push/pull it out with some dent removing tool. The dent is a vertical crease three inches long and about 1/8 inch deep.
The lock is sticky in the sense that it does not fully latch using the electric button while the door is open. Everything works, though, when the door is closed.

Creases are a LOT more difficult for PDR [Paintless Dent Repair] and the hot/cold thing soesnt work for creases either.... but i would still go to the pdr technicians, paintless dent repair is no joke lol if you dont know what your doing.... its confusing as hell haha I have a grand worth of pdr tools and we havent really even touched em, its just a confusing concept...
Sorry for the big run on. Try PDR if you think they are overcharging than you cant try a body shop.
Stay far away from honda dealer.... unless you need seatbelts or keys they will rob you blind lol.

That sounds like a dent for a professional. Some dents can be taken out with heat and dry ice or similar techniques but this doesn't sound like that type. Do you have a pic? Why not just get some quotes before worrying about doing it yourself?
