Default Door dent

Hey guys,

I got a dent on my door due to uncareful door opening, no paint scratches or anything. I was wondering if anyone has any DIY home methods such as hair dryer and dry ice.

Also how much would it cost to take it to a shop?

Paintless dent repair by a pro will get it done for under $100.

If it can be done it would likely have no effect on lease. My guy comes to the house. There are others that have a shop. Take less than 1/2 hour if dent is accessible.

Dealers use them all the time. That's what they will do if you turn it in with the dent. It's amazing what these folks can do. Where I live there is a guy a mile from my house that does windshields dings and dents. He is a permanent fixture in a grocery store lot. Google "dent repair" with your city or zip code and I'll bet you'll find some.

It should be a simple fix, a pain nonetheless.. I have a rock dent that made me really sad when I noticed it.
