Yup they can!! I had one on my car when I got it. They had it for a week, but when she came back you couldn't tell where it was. Mine was on the passenger side door right where yours is. They do magic!!

I had one in my hood and it was pretty sharp. The guy came to my house and fixed it in 20 min and charged me $20. They are usually pretty strait forward about what they can and can not fix.

You're welcome!! I'm sorry I can't tell you more, but since it came off the lot that way the dealership handled all the details and price.

It's an art. Get the right person and you cannot tell where a properly fixed dent was in the first place. That is, if they say they can fix it. Some dents can't be done this way.

Like said above it is an art. I do this as a second job and if you want someone to do it ensure they have the right tools and the experience with those tools. The rule with creases most of the time if the crease is not broken or crossed it can return. Most modern metals are forgiving.

a good PDR tech can do wonders! I have used the local guy here a few times on my tahoe and he never fails to amaze me!

I just had one removed, dealer over extended fuel door causing a crease in the fender. I didn't think they would be able to fix it, but now you can't tell there was ever a dent there.

I had 4 dents done 2 on the driver front fender next to the hood and 1 on each fender right above the Camaro letters. I can not see them now.

Just had two dings removed from passenger side door last week. Company showed up right on schedule and fixed it in the driveway. They were both right on the Crease. $100 and good as new. Years ago they used to say if they were on a bodyline, you were SOL and better head to the BodyShop.

Had quite a few small dents/dings removed! Quick, quality, and pretty cheap for what you get.....which is huge piece of mind that you have no more dents/dings!!
