Dent Estimate?

Hey guys, I was hoping I can get some advice from the pros here. I have 2/3 dents on my right front door that I'm looking to fix, trying to figure out the ballpark of how much I should spend to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

$75 - $150 each dent, depending on the PDR guy's mood.

$150-200, looks like 1-2 hours of work.

I was thinking about $200 also.

At least he can go through the window frame with a block. They had to drill a hole and then plug it for the quarters on my friends stang.

Appreciate all the responses.

3 companies and I've been quoted $390, $415, and $700. First two costs do not include removing and installing the door/door trim, which is another ~200. Probably gonna have to take the door off myself. Will keep looking around.

I had a mobile PDR guy come out to my house and fix a nasty ding on my quarter panel. Had to remove the interior trim and drill a hole to get to it. Cost me $200. Look around.

Ended up shelling the 390. They all counted the bottom dent as two dents, so total of 3 dents on body lines. Took off the door myself. Looks good as new now!

People dont understand how good pdr guys are. And as long as there is no paint damage they can remove alot of nasty dents

I had some PDR work done yesterday also. Dent Hunters in Richmond, VA did an excellent job.
