Door ding repair - ever get it done?

[Burby]

Really frustrated that I've got a 2016 less than a year old with more door dings than a NY taxi. Actually there are two dents, one on each side by the rear wheel wells. But they are noticeable.

Is this something that is easily fixed by a mobile dent pro? What is the cost typically in your experience? What has your experience been with similar situations? Thanks -

I know a guy that does it. He tells me it can be fixed if the paint isn't broken/cracked. If it's dented and it's double walled steel, it might not be able to be fixed. It all depends on your guy honestly. I've seen some dings fixed that you can't even tell, others not so great, but I knew they we're there before. Prices vary. Sometimes he charges $50 a panel to $150 a panel. So maybe you should look around, but make sure you use someone knowledgeable. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but there's a lot of different variables to give a straight answer. Just shop around and use someone who knows what they're doing. Good luck.

I know a couple guys that work for Car Medic. They have pushed some dents I thought for sure would never come out. Before and After pics you'd swear had body work / paint.

Find some local ones with good before and after pics and compare prices. I'd pay a little more for the better guy if he can make them disappear.

Sounds good thanks - I'll try to take and post some before and after shots when I get it done.

I had about 8 door dings fixed with PDR over the summer I paid $400 for all of them.

Pointless dent removal, or PDR, is very effective. Skilled techs can literally make dents disappear. Around here they charge around $150 per panel.

I've had it done on a few different cars. Always works fine and looks great. Usually charge $60-$70 per panel here.

My advice is to find someone that has been doing it for a long time. They have the tools and experience to fix it right. I've had several fixed and you would never know a dent was ever there.
