Default freaking dents

does anyone know if a paintless dent guy can get rid of these? can anyone give me a ballpark quote? just dont ask how it happened. there are no creases and the paint is not even scratched. there are two dents, one above each passenger side door. thanks

haha, well have one of the guys stop by, and check out your car... you can assess his competence as quickly as possible, and decide whether you allow him to touch your car

And no, you're dents are not DIY material.

Use some suction cups to get the dents out

Tell us what happened to your car... I am trying to figure it out but I can't. Don't worry we're just strangers on the internet.

I will take a stab in the dark at how it happened. What do you put in the carrier on the roof of your car? And who do you let pack it? Answer those and I bet you will be able to stop them from happening again. I would lose the rack unless its essential.

It's usually pretty reasonable... however, usually they push the dents out from the inside... the dent guy we work with in the shop often does like 3 or 4 dents for around 100 bones canadian -- depending on their locations.

Your's will have to be pulled out... but like I said, get a mobile guy to come check it out... you can size him up while he's there.
