I went to Dent Wizard. It's a worldwide chain: http://www.dentwiz.com
It only took the guy about 20 minutes to the small ding I had in my passenger-side quarter, and he let me watch him while he did it. I can't even find the ding now.....I'm very pleased with the results.

There are tons of places that offer paint-free dent repair. If they do it right, they set up lights and mirrors, then tap the dent out from the inside, rather than using something to pull the dent out.

I work for a paintless dent company. There is no device in the market that works for all dents in all locations. Those infomercial things often cause more harm then good (pull the dent but leave two others behind). If you care about your car, go to a REAL PDR company. The quality of the repair will lie COMPLETELY with how good the tech is who does your car. Around here, The Dent Wizard is pretty big and cheap but they don't have the quality that a smaller place would. The tech's have a draw to make each month so volume is more important then price or quality. Call a high-end body shop and ask who they sub their PDR work to. Go from there.
A single dent in your rear quarter should be in the $60-90 area depending on your market. If it has a crease or next to a body line (like around the gas door) it will be more. We offer very good discounts on multiple dents if they are in the same panel (like buy 2 get 1 free).

Mine was $80 bucks.....
The guy at Dent Wizard in Indianapolis used a small metal pole with what looked like a hard rubber tip on the end. Working from the inside spare tire area, he carefully worked the dent out.
Like I said earlier, I can't even tell you where it was now....
