If you were in Texas I'd have a name for you, but $200 is WAY over priced. My paintless dent repair guy took out a huge dent in one door and he charged me $60! He did such a good job that I felt I owed him more than 60 bucks!

PDR is usually $40 to $60 depending on how bad it is. You're in CA so it might even be cheaper since there's probably more competition. Shop around and check out Dent Wizard...they got certified guys everywhere.

I have been told by a friend who works in a local body shop that they will have the paintless dent guys come to the shop weekly to look after this type of thing and the shop charges the customer almost double for something they could have had done in their own driveway by the same people. I have used this service for both my car and my daughters and it was done in my garage. They had a portable lighting kit that allows them to visually see their work in detail with the final result as smooth as new, and the whole procedure took around 30 minutes. I was also amazed how well they repaired my daughter’s, car with the dent being partially on a seam.

guys, PDR charges PER PANEL, not per ding...
I've use two, one is westcoast dent removal which serves the OC guys, he does a pretty good job for the price and he'll do a couple easy ones for you sometimes, he took out about 4 dings for me $120

Another one i used is sosdent, he surves teh santa monica area and he's more expensive and strict on his price but in my opinion he does a better job, i had about 2-3 dings and a huge dent on my hood for my 05 es before and he charged about 550 (the hood one was 350) When he was done i couldnt tell at ALL!!

if you need their info pm me =)

I know there's 1 more in the area i havent tried but forgot the name of the company, i heard dent devils down in san diego is really good too
