Body line dent

My car has less then 3k miles on it and some ass hat already hit my car with there door. I always park aw far away from "people" as I can but had to go to the hospital to see some one and even though I parked on the roof of the garage I still got hit. So getting to my question can PDR remove a dent on a bodyline? It is right in the middle of the door. I am trying to post a pic but all I get is a box with a x in it. Does any one in the Midwest know of a good PDR place? Thanks in advance.[/IMG]

Dent Pro is a very good mobile service and they are all over the place. They will come to you. I've used them many times on vehicles and i'm impressed every time. Watching them work is like watching a magic trick.

My Wife works at a Hospital but has to go to different off sites.
She has a 2012 Yellow Vert and in the first week had 3 dings in the pass door.........
She did not notice then until she got out of the car when we were putting it away for the winter.

I had a guy who learned Paintless Dent Removal and then when on his own.
His work was perfect!!!!!!!

I buffed the car after he was done and can no trace of the dings at all.

If you can find a body shop guy to hook you up with someone that is your best bet.

Thanks for the responses I am going to call Dent Doctors in Brookfield. It looks like $140 for parking in the wrong spot! I don't understand how people can have so little respect for other people's property. This is the only problem to washing your car you always find dings, dents, and chips.

From the looks of it, the metal doesn't look that stretched so it should come on depending of the skill level of the guy working on it.

People are savages anymore, they don't care about anything but themselves and don't care about damaging anyone's property, it's a sad state of society.

Push them out all the time on the body lines. A good dent guy can push it out with no problem.

I bought a new truck recently and within one week i had two dents pushed into my hood and had to call Dent Pro to have them removed, so i feel ya pain. I just think some people dont care generally and coupled with those that intentionally cause damage to your vehicle, makes for a sad state of our Society today.

I had the samething happen to me last summer. I went to the shooting range and parked out where no one else was parked. When I came back out after my shooting session I found a ding in my drivers door right on the body line. My first ding, which I believe is always the hardest one to take. I suspect that some ass hat pulled next to me just to give me the ding and then moved to another spot to watch the fireworks when I came back out.

Anyway, I found an excellent local dent guy in Manheim Pa. It took him about 20 minutes and he only charged me 30 bucks. He did an incredible job, it was like the ding never happen. For as angry as I was when I got the dent, I was equally as happy to see it be completely wiped away.
