I have one semi-noticable dent over the wheel well and it annoys the piss out of me. I also have two minor ones on the door but you only notice those while cleaning, still want to get rid of them. So how much would that go around?

When I've seen similar questions asked, people usually say every case is different. I can't imagine a small dent would be a huge deal, but your best bet is probably to just swing by a PDR shop and ask for a quote

If you're good at DIY, have a steady hand, and have unholy amounts of patience: Try a hot glue dent puller. They do a pretty good job...and worst case scenario, you lose $20-$30 and have a pro do it.

I don't know how that would work on the larger dent. It is on the line right over the wheel well. . .

I guess I might just have too. They can't charge me for asking!

I have had various places PDR over the years. Prices usually range for $80-100 for one dent up to $300 for the entire car. I usually only go every 3 or 4 years after the car is riddled with dents and get them all pulled at once.

I just want to get the one removed. It annoys the piss out of me!! I will probably be back in a few years, just to get the rest.

Some of the guys around here come to you. If you are just getting one pulled, that may be the best option, especially if it is easily visible. I like to take the car to their shop if they are pulling multiple dents as they usually need all of the tools/shop lighting to find the various small dents around the car.

It is pretty visable, usually when someone new sees my car, they always ask what happened. Plus, it is such a sore spot for me.

Ooooh...those types of dents are definitely pro jobs. :(

Oh, geez! I first read that as "pantiless dent".

I pulled a dent with a plunger before. It actually was almost unnoticeable, just popped out. It was an older Malibu so no1 really cared.

They can try

It gets tricky when it's on a crease, otherwise it's typically around 25-50 per dent, depending on who does it and how bad it is.

I saw "Pantsless Dent Removal" and did a double-take. Come to mention it, this sounds like an intriguing business plan...

How funny that we both read it differently. That girl better get some steel-toed shoes.

Seems like some gloves would be a worthwhile investment as well. At least, that's what I thought of first. You know, besides "Dat Aston..."

Most new car dealers use them to touch up trades. Go by a dealer and ask the body shop or used car manager who they use.

All depends on the dent and PDR Specialist... but fwiw, I had maybe 9 dents of varying degrees pulled by a guy I found via word of mouth in my car club (in Oahu) who did them all for about 195 - I paid him 250 because the job was literally that clean and he knocked it out in 2hrs before I was shipping the car (amazing literally).

I had a dent right on that wheel line too - a PDR shop quoted me 250 for the one on it's own. he quoted me 80. Another was right under the side mirror on the body line ('11 Impreza) and the PDR Shop said it couldn't be done. He did it for next to nothing just for the sake of a challenge. I owe that guy a beer the next time I see him.
