Small dent, which panel to access?

Hi all,

I managed to get a ding on the drivers side rear panel, towards the top (pic attached).

First I thought I could remove the wheel well to hammer it out, but maybe the inside rear panel has better access? (Never had to take anything apart on the car)

Hoping I can hammer it out a little... will any hammer do or should I invest in a specific one for this kind of thing?

Thanks!

A good, honest PDR specialist would probably only charge you $50 to remove that, would not drill holes, and would probably find several more on the car you can't see. Why mess with it yourself, unless you already have those skills?

If you were in Central VA I'd hook you up with a good one. Probably cost you a bit more in NJ, but ask around.

Agree. Some of those PDR guys can work wonders. Find a reputable one with good reviews or one that has done work for someone you know and they would recommend him.

Thanks for the advice guys! Didn't think it would be that cheap... even if it is more expensive up here.

And yeah I have 1 other one they can take care of, so good call. Thanks again!
