Default PDR Can this dent be pulled?

Well after talking to two places they say my dents can't be worked on... anyone have experiance with PDR? The bigger dent is not entirely at the bottom of the quarter panel but near the bottom. I am going to try taking the car to another place sometime soon and hoping they will have the guts to try...

My experience with PDR has been overwhelmingly positive. I'd paste the website of the guy who did mine and you should see some of the dents he's done but he's not a sponsor here. This one doesn't look like it should be that much of a chore comparatively.

Thanks I checked out the link. The next place I'm going to try claims 10+ years of experience and is a larger shop so hopefully they will be able to do it. Its not a large dent and I can easily get to it..

Thanks!

Yes, I had some dents along the bodyline of my trans am just like your car and the PDR guy took them totally out. Just go around until you find a shop that has the proper experience and attitude.

Absolutely. Just keep in mind the skill level of PDR techs varies just like the skill level of a regular paint/body tech, so check out some prior work of the shop you plan to use. They should be able to get the metal completely smooth without a lumpy "meatball" look to the repaired area.

This should be really easy to fix its all about the right tools and experience...there is plenty of access to the back side of that dent for a PDR. All they will have to do is massage it out...Probably only take the guy 10 minutes
