Dent removal (crease in metal)

I paid a pretty penny to get that dent off the roof, 395 with taxes to be exact. I went to a body shop that also had great reviews with PDR. It was in a complicated spot, it was small around 1-1.25 inches, it looked like two small dents connected to each other. I know I could have gotten it done for way cheaper but no other PDR person had availability in my area for the next 2-3 weeks. Got to agree it's some magic stuff, and saved the original paint.

 

Man,

Sorry about that. There is no way on earth they will PDR that back to even acceptable. There are 2 ways to PDR. Get in from back side or glue pull. There is no glue strong enough to glue tabs to pull out that dent and the back side has very limited access. Body tech will need to hammer and dolly and probably weld studs to pull it out. It will also need filler to recreate the body contouring.

I would say the 1-1500 is fair.

Edit, also the panel needs to be pulled back. It is buckled. Note the gaps around the lamp and to the gate. It is a lot more the an indentation. Bet there is some buckle on the inner jamb if you open the gate

 

That’s what it was about for me- still original. You kniw what they say good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good… you get what you pay for!

I ended up paying around 12-1300 (he discounted 3-400 because of the hassle with insurance). Took a 6 hr drive and a weekend trip. He spent about 10-12 hrs. I found him by his YouTube videos
