As body shop costs rise...so do PDR costs.
That dent is a nothingburger to a seasoned PDR person. Nothing. Burger. if anyone is paying more than $200 for that less than half hour job... well, you know. PT Barnum.

My passenger side door was clipped by some ass-hat. Bodyshop clocked it in at ~$2K. Took a few pictures... sent it to my PFR guy (yeah, I have a PDR guy). $275. The damage was far worse than the OPs damage. Took my guy .75 hour. He then proceeded to scan the car correcting **************** I didn't even notice. Yeah.. that's a nice hourly rate... but I was more interested in the result. Aaaanddd... he polished it off looking like it hadn't been touched.

So... way.
