    Local dealer in Sacramento wanted 2k to fix the dent in my bed side. Parts included new bush guard, paint and more. Called a few local Paintless dent removal guys and was quoted yes anywhere from $300-600.

    Yeah.
    Yeah, no hard creases -- may be a remnant of it around the edge, but I'd just push it out from the back and not worry about it.

    If you try to pop it out yourself, wait until a hot day, park that side of the truck facing the sun for a couple of hours and it should pop-out with no problem. These trucks seem to have some thin sheet metal.

    I have the Paintless dent warranty which I’ve used before and was happy with. This wasn’t covered obviously

    I'm not shocked by the dealer quote. That is about right because they will be sanding and painting. The PDR quote is outrageous. $300-$600 to push that out? That is a $100 dent at best. You find the guy popping dents at the dealer and you can probably drop him a Ulysses and walk away with it returned to near perfection.

    No surprise. They need to make money from service to run the whole dealership.

    Pour boiling water on it and like said before put your hand in the fender liner and pop it out very easy

    When I had a 2014, the paint shop charged my insurance company just shy of $2500 to replace a bedside quarter panel and fender flare with Toyota OEM and paint it.

    Use the dildo to fix the dent or just "use the dildo"?
