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.
