Default Ding Repair

Just had my black 2004 330 buffed for swirls and waxed and it came out much better than I expected. More so that I now want to have a few small dings taken out as it would look excellent Lexus dealer told me its $149 per panel but that seems pretty expensive as I have them on about 4 different panels. She said they have to remove the panel, but I didnt think they did that anymore. Theyre about the size of small dents from when someone opens their door along side so theyre not big creases. Has anyone had any ding repair experiences? Any recommended vendors in southeastern MA? Thanks!!

Google paintless dent removal in your area. My guy charges per dent based on size and location. I have had a whole car done for $150. I prefer to go to their shop rather than the ones that come to you. The lighting is better in the shop and makes it easier for them to work.

Dont go to dealer for this. They generally dont keep people on staff for this. Therefore, they will outsource this work, then mark it up. Go directly to source instead.
