Default Paintless Dent Repair

An a-hole dinged my door @ work about the size of a dime. I have an appointment with my dealer and their dent busters guy to remove this from my passenger door. Anyone have any experience with this Technology?

I got the guy's infomation who did it because it is on video as I park under a security camera and I am friends with the head of Loss Prevention. Going to teach this guy a lesson of respecting other people's property. Even if that means going to small claims court.

yeah, i work at a gm dealership.... costs about 50 to 80 bucks on avg. depending on the dent... you can still tell something was there, but only if you look relly hard. i've seen a few before/after results, and it looks very good.

wallet or his body. Peace

Im not a fan of the PDR myself for large jobs...my monte got hammered in a hail storm and all the body shops do PDR now, they claim its cheaper and the insurance companies like it for some reason. Well as far as being cheaper I think its bs for a big job, they quoted me at just under $1,000, but when it was all said and done it was nearly $4,000. For that much money they could have filled and repainted all the body pannels and I would have ended up with a nice new paint job which it could use, instead they did PDR and all the stone chips and lil scratched from all the hwy miles are still there.

For a small ding or two Im sure it works great and is very cost effective but in my case I feel like I got the short end of the stick.
