Some of these guys can work magic, but, personally, I will only let them try their magic if I can watch. Some of their techniques may make you cringe, but it works. What I will not let them do is cut holes into my body panels so that they can get their tools in (very common on dents in door panels).

I've pushed out a couple of small dings in my door. I used a spoon, some masking tape and rubbing with pressure. The tape protects the finish. Like mptoledo says, it's no too hard if you can access the spot.

To illustrate how dent removal experience is necessary to get a good repair, when I was having my dings popped out, one of them was to the rear of the right engine air inlet.
I removed the grill for the tech, then he told me he did not have his correct tool that day for the available access.
He asked me for a stubby Phillips and removed the ding using only the Phillips.
Its magic!!
