Help: How shall I remove a dent(ding) from a door slap?

[wami18]

Today I saw my car with a little dent, guessing it's from a door slap T.T just above my back wheel (passenger side). You know how there is a band about 3~4inches in width right above the wheel right?

The top line is where the dent occurred. Shall I bring it to the autoshop?

Any suggestions?

P.S. saw a movie clip of removing dents with dry ice or with a hair dryer andCO2 (air duster)

if i take it to the shop, what would the cost be? Thnx =)

No way will the CO2 method work on a small door ding near or on the fender crease. That only works on giant shallow depressions in the middle of a panel.

Don't go to a body shop. You need to find a PDR specialist, as in Paintless Dent Removal. They will almost certainly have to drill a small access hole in your panel (probably in the recess where the door closes) to get their tools behind the ding and massage it out. It will come out perfect and they'll patch the hole with a rubber bung - you'll never know.

They also could use the hot glue gun method which pulls the dent out and doesn't require the access hole, but that won't work well if it's so near that crease in the metal as it seems you're describing it. I had this exact ding in the same location.

Cost should be about $90. I have had three dents already pulled or pushed on my car and know the process well. As a repeat customer, I get them done for $75 now. It's alot of money, but on a black car, it's worth it becuz that dent will cause you sleepless nights thinking about it and the warped reflection it causes!!!

90 bucks sounds way too much. They should be able to either suction or heat/ push that ding out. no holes necessary and no more than 50
