Default Got a Dent

It happened at work and I'm pissed because people can't respect other peoples property It's on the rear driver side door, and I was wondering if I can take off the door panel and pop it out from the inside? I can always buff out the scuff mark, but right now I am concerned with the dent. What other options do I have if taking off the door panel does not work?

PDR (paintless dent repair) if there's no paint chipping.

There is no pain chipping, just a scuff. Does the stealership do this, or just a random collision shop?

Collision shops. I went to one to do some in my door and it was pretty cheap. They were like from out of town or something in to do hail damage work.

Yeah the dent is about the size of a quarter. How much $ did it run you?

I think it was like 25 a panel maybe and I had 3 panels done. I know it was under 100 total. Call around your area.

Delta Sonic used to have a guy that came in once a week to do PDR. I heard it was closer to $75/dent, though.
