    Ultimate Dent Removal (Mike Matteson) 714.271.0003

    He's a really good guy...can't recommend him enough. I was nervous taking my BMW Z4M to him...but his name is all over the forums...just google his number or name. I went to his house and took about 15 to 20 minutes. More than happy to pay even though it took so little time...I don't pay by the minute...I pay for his knowledge and experience... happy it was done correctly and I didn't have to wait...I'm also very picky...so if it wasn't done right... I would point it out until it's done...but I don't have to with Mike.

    erod998.... I don't see why you can't access the two little compartment in the truck bed? You should be able to remove the compartment and have access to the truck bed no? I never tried..but seems like it should be easy to access. I do agree with others...while $200 seems pricey... regular dent repair is so much more money...plus blending paint is a bitch. I would go on forums and look for a referral for a good PDR person in your area. For me, I drove close to 75 miles to see Mike... it's not about the money...it's about who is doing it... if I knew of a good person closer to where I live... I would, but Mike is the man in SoCal.

    Guy that got the dent out of my bedside took the cap off the top edge of the bed and pulled the tail light out to get the dent out.

    I wouldn't even think about trying to do PDR myself. Leave it to the pro's. They are artist with those tools and what they can do with them. One screw up and you will be buying a new bedside and having it painted to match the truck. That will be a hell of a lot more than $200.

    Guys, thanks for all the replies and help.

    Currently removing the bed storage compartment and going to send a pic to this guy, see what he says.

    Also, going to text a few more shops and see what they say.
