there are a couple of dings on my car, and one in particular in my rear left passenger door. i'd classify it as a medium sized ding..perhaps in the parking lot someone opened their door and it hit my car or something.

does anyone know how much this would cost to have repaired?

 

Guy overe here in CA charges 65-100 depending on size and location. (pretty amazing) what they can do..!!

 

yep..thats for sure. ive been using the same dude for mine and my friends cars. he charges about the same.

but BEWARE!!! there are some real hack jobs out there. get references 1st. ive seen guys pounding on cars with hammers and i have to just walk away.....

 

my local shops were charging around 125.. depends on the size and location..

 

Here in Western Oregon there is a guy, I've used his services many times, charges $50-$80 per panel. He does an incredible job.

 

if you have the sack, you can try this method that someone mentioned over on the detailing board. there's youtube videos of people doing it, but it involves a heat gun and a can of compressed air. going off memory, you turn the can of air upside down and freeze the crap out of the dent, then use the hair drier/heat gun to heat the dent up and as it heats up and expands it pops the dent right out.

 

100-150, I was quoted $150 but dealed with them after because I could still see it a little after. BUT you have to remember it can't be perfect considering that the metal has expanded in a different way from the factory. Mine was the size of a half dollar and about 3-5mm in.

 

Also, I would recommend someone or a company that does a lot of dealer work around your area.

 

i have seen a similar process BUT i would not have the stones to do it myslef!
