No dent is the same, way to many variables like size, depth, if it's more to the front of door or edge or door, etc.. so can't speak for PDR Techs in general, OP dent judging by his pic, is a easy fix to me!

Not really. It's a bodyline dent, so you have to create that bodyline again without cracking the paint, breaking the window, etc all while using your skills to provide great service. Bodyline Dents are more difficult then if it wasn't on the bodyline.. I'm just speaking on OP dent in his pics. No dents are the same. He got lucky, shouldn't be hard for a skilled pdr tech to get out.

The problem is parking spaces are just too damned small. If parking spaces where properly sized for vehicles you shouldn't be able to touch the vehicle next to you when you open your door - when you open the door to your house can it bang the neighbors house? And it's BS that someone goes out of their way to park next to a vehicle that's parked far out in the back all by itself with plenty of empty spaces. I can't believe people can have no respect for other peoples property and their own. Man it just blows my mind how people can just not give a damned about the 2nd most expensive thing that they'll buy during their lifetime. I would make insurance pay for it based on principle that you didn't ding your own car and that you went out of your way to stay away from these types of people by parking far away in a low traffic area of the parking lot and some A-Hole just had to come park next to you and cause damage to your vehicle!

Well, the dingus denied responsibility to the claims rep. Unfortunately for him he apologized and implicated himself while in front of security who was later called by the claims rep. The insurance company has found him at fault and will pay for the repairs. |

Check out the rental my body shop gave me (PDR was not an option as the paint actually did have a chip)
Immediately not a fan. Ecoboost. Too small inside. Everything felt cheap (yes, the fit and finish felt even cheaper than our beloved). Serious lag. Did I say it was too small? |

Is it too late to pull it out of the body shop?
A good PDR tech should be able to remove that dent and then you can have the paint chip filled in. If they respray the whole door, you will lose the integrity of the factory paint and the color might not match that good. Also, any further dents on that door will be even riskier now to remove because it will have been repainted. |

Got the Camaro back yesterday and it looks great. Ding is gone and the paint looks perfect. Believe me I went over it before leaving. No overspray (which was surprising), the color matches perfect, even the fleck is spot on. Didn't have any doubts about this body shop tho, they are very good at what they do.
