Default Door dings...any recommendations

I got few door dings on my car, probably an understatement.

Anyway, I contacted Dentpro in Nor Cal. The guy said I get a better deal if he removes 10+ door dings vs. 1,2 or 3. It's $500 bucks to remove 10+ dings. And $50 bucks to remove 1. WTF!!

Anyone recommend a cheaper place to have door dings removed? I waited for a year...want to get this done now.

Try Diablo Dents. I got 1 dent removed for less than $50. Ask for Chris Jacobs.

A few places in SoCal advertise their services for $100. I'd shop it around.

50 for 1 and 500 for 10?

50 x 1 = $50
50 x 10 = $500

so where is the deal? lol

Thanks for the feedbacks so far.

I'm just glad to know the price is not too far from what I was quoted.

HEYARMS: I try to park in good spots, but seriously, every time I do that a POS car parks next to me. And I really think some drivers do that on purpose. So I stop doing that now.

I noted 10 "+" dings, not 10 dings. So for $500 bucks, he will remove 15 dings to be exact.

Dexterr:
Here with Dent Pro is $55 per panel. If you have 10 in one panel he will remove each one of them for $55.00.
If you have one in let say the door and one in the fender then you have a $110.00.

If you're in Nor Cal and you can wait a bit longer (since you waited a year already). They have one at BOS. They give better deals there since were car enthusiasts.

This. We have dent removal guys roam around during some of the larger meets (BOS & EOS). I don't think you can beat their prices since it's following a group buy model.
