Default Paintless Dent Removal

Anyone know of a reputable company that does paintless dent removal in the SD county? I have a dent on my passenger side door and I don't know if this could be removed.

I had my side mouldings shaved and the shop decided to use fiberglass/bondo to fill it in, and the dent is slightly above it. But I don't know how high up the filler goes and I'm afraid it'll crack when they try to pry out the dent. Do you guys think that this'll be a problem? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you go to a GOOD guy that knows what he is doing he should be able to get it out! The only problem is the filler. I have my moldings shaved and I do know that the filler goes up the door a little ways, so that it can blend into the door. So I think you just need to go to a BIG autobody shop ( maybe a dealership) and ask if they have an outside dent remover guy that comes in and does there dents. So thats my idea, I know that most Bigger body shops have a certain person they use all the time for little things like this! So you just need to find someone and see what he thinks he can do for you. Good luck Bro! If you have anymore ?'s hit me up at CivicRollin18z@aol.com

Hey fuji, what kind of tools do you use to get the dent out? Also, how do you get to it? Mine is smack dab in the middle of the passenger side door, so it's kinda difficult even with the door panels off and the window up.

Has anyone tried this? What did they charge? I went to get an estimate at one place, and they charge $30-$60 per ding.
If I had them do all my little door dings, I would of paid enough for an entire paint job. I guess it would be worth it for large dings/dents, but for the tiny ones that only I notice it's not worth it IMO.

round here its like $75 for the first ding, $20-30 for every after. what i did was around the hail storm there were all these "boomers" in town, so you could work out really good cash deals with them. got all the nasty dents worked out of my car for about $80.

i just did the top of my fender last week with an allen wrench and my thumb. like i said, the key is patience.

:thumbup: Paintless dent removal is really good. Around here, one of the most reputable places is "Dent Wizard", they actually might be nationwide. They usually charge PER panel, say you have 4 dings in a door, one price.
