In Atlanta the cheapest price is about $95 for the first dent, but you do get a discount on other dents on the same panel. Interestingly this is a case where your dealer may be cheaper! They sublet it of course, but can drive a bargain with the dent repair crew. Call them first.

In general if they're good the work is magical. Just be sure they can get behind the panel or work if from the outside...I would not use PDR if they have to drill to get behind the dent.

I disagree with that statement....I would rather have a properly sealed hole (easily explainable) instead of paint work on the car. A small ding will require filler and blending on the panel(s).

If done properly, drilling is vastly superior to paint work.

Thumbs up pdr

just got two dings out using reputable pdr co. and was amazed of outcome.
looks as if though it never happened. if you have a ding or dent i strongly encourage you to try pdr before you have a body shop work on your car i was lost when i saw the dings but some advise from the board and now im a believer. 100% satisfied or its free. in los angeles area call vince 562 896 8507.
with 10 years experience. he did an awsome job. drilling is not always
required. oh and i agree w/ sdkkv. pdr over body work any day.

let us know how it turns out!
