Paintless Dent Repair Possible?

I just had my first door ding...so I'm wondering whether this is repairable or whether I should just forget about it

It's about a 3" vertical crease along the body line just above the rear wheel. Can this repaired with PDR?



Thanks!

Consult several professionals in your area for an opinion. Estimates are free most of the time.

From what I have been told, it can be tough when dents are on a body line like that, but you won't get an exact answer until you speak with a few professionals.

Hello klamchowder,
I can say that I had a much worse dent right on the same spot and my dent removal best friend removed it almost 100%. It is a complicated place as it has a double wall right next to the vertex of the wheel well.

Good luck!

I have had PDR done on my car and previous cars and looking at your dent a good PDR guy would get that 90% out. In my area the guy charges $50 a dent or if there are a few he'lll do a deal.
