Default Paintless Dent Removal...Yes or No?

I have a small ding aquired while at work due to some careless person, and I'd like opinions on paintless dent removal. Of course their door would have to hit basically the only metal exterior part of the car. The dent is very small, and I don't believe it even scratched the paint. It's up towards the top half of the passenger side quarter. You have to be just in the right spot to see it, but I of course know it's there and want to have it removed. I want to have it repaired early next week, and would appreciate any comments or suggestions....the place I'll have do it is a very well-known business, and I know the guy who does the repairs also does them for dealerships too.

When I bought my Z it had a dent on the rear quarter panel. THe dealership removed the dent without paint. It looks like there never was a dent. I now have 2 dings on the other quarter panel and plan to remove them the same way.

I spoke with the guy who does the dent repair today, and he said it should be about $90 and take 15 to 20 minutes to repair....I'm taking it in Tuesday afternoon.....thanks for the responses! He was cool cause I made the comment that it was a very minor ding and most people would just not worry about it, but I told him that I knew it was there.....He said he gets a lot of those and he completely understands (of course cause he gets paid to fix it). He said he just did a car for a lady and she had to physically point to where the dent was cause it was so small. The guy was like "I'm trained to find the dents, and I couldn't even see it". His attitude and friendliness made it all the better...

i had a dent over my right rear tire, from somebody opening their door into my car. Went to one of those places and 80 bucks and about an hour and you can't even tell that there was anything there. If the price is right and the guy looks like he does good work. Then go for it...

Try the "Ding King". Saw an infomercial a couple
months ago about it. I've been thinking about it
myself, as we recently had a little hail storm
and I've got 6-10 tiny dings in my hood where I
couldn't cover it up. (no garage <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> )

Sales for like 29.99 or maybe even 19.99.
