That can be done paintless... send your pictures to Goodbye Dentz in astoria... I'm taking my wifes suv there in a couple of days for a fender she hit a pole parking... much worse than that and was quoted $250 3-4hrs to fix...

+1 on the PDR recommendation.

Almost always the best place to start and if the paint isnt broken- will be a complete solution in most cases. Ive had amazing luck with this in the past and swear by it. Its crazy to me when I see a nice car with one let alone multiple dings down the side. Most guys charge around $80 per ding depending on size and time invested. Small price to pay to keep your car looking its best.

Only time they cant help is if there happens to be a support brace running behind the damage or it is incredibly close to a body seam. He should be able to do wonders for the door itself but the inside rocker area is plastic I believe? May need to order a complete rocker and have it painted or, just live with it for a while. Will rarely if ever be seen by anyone other than yourself.

Yea the rocker might be an issue.. but noway a full rocker replacement.. that's major surgery... more like a little hammer and a slap of bondo and repaint... but if he can get an access hole in the area you might be in luck... maybe with some heat and tap he can pop it back... the guy is good from the reviews I read... hope he is since I'm going there...

Here's mine...Multiple body lines
