My paint/body is nowhere near perfect, or show quality. But this dent in the passenger door drives me nuts. Probably because when working in the garage, its always right in my face.
Is this something a PDR guy can fix and make look right, or should I just leave it?

I've had several small bumps done, the car lot I transport for have had lots of stuff done that way too, don't hurt to ask.

Just worried it will look worse when done. I’ll have to do my research on the work they’ve done.

My friend had about 20 dents in his rear quarter from the previous owners negligence. A PDR guy came out, and that rear quarter now looks factory perfect. I am sure a good PDR guy can handle that.

You might have to zoom to see, but the circled area had not been done, but everything to the rear of that was done. From the circle back to the tail light looked just like the circled area before he did his magic.

Nice looking car Rdub6
Finding the best dent remover in town will be your hardest feat
The fact that there is a crease in the fender where the dent is makes it very difficult
Impossible really without paint
So find the best dent man you can afford and see how well he does
The dealers all have a dent man or two so ask around

If you want a good dent man call the service department of the closest Carmax and ask who they use. We use Dent Masters here in VA. They do good work and PDR a lot of cars.

I have a guy thats been doing it for 30 years, he has done some amazing things for me. Im far from an expert, but there is a similar dent in the door of one of our sons cars, and he told me that the metal was too stretched to be able to work it back into place. I personally would absolutely have it looked at. Experience is key when it comes to PDR.

When i had my saleen explorer, it was lightly dinged and dented all over from it's years of daily use.
Paid one guy $250 and i swear you would have thought he was a magician.
Took out 5 dings, 2 of which were pretty bad, one that i stared at for the entire time i owned it (i would have called it a crease).
He had a shop, so people don't get to see how he does it, but who cares, i should have spent that 250 bucks long before i sold it.

It is hard to tell from a picture, but looks totally fixable to me. I've been doing PDR for 23+yrs and have fixed some stuff you wouldn't think could.
