r/PaintlessDentRepair

I have a baby on the way and im also paying for our wedding. I dont currently have the money to get a pro to do the job. How would a noob go about improving this? Or would you literally say, don't touch it as it's too difficult?

Got side swiped taking a on ramp today, just curious if pdr will work or if I should just bring it in and have them sand it down and pull it out

My neighbor backed into my rear left door earlier today. Any ideas what kind of repair expenditure I should expect?

Someone backed into my wife's car and we settled up in cash without having to go through insurance. The quote we got from a body shop to repair/paint the area was just under $2300.00. Since her car is fairly rough cosmetically, i wanted to see if it would be cheaper to find a PDR place and have them push the dent out (dont really care about some scuffs in the paint) instead of spending the whole pay out on the body shop. Thank you.

A local dent repair tech told me it would be 716 total to fix. I backed into a plastic dumpster. No cracks or paint damage, just a small dent. The $ seemed high so asking here. 2022 X5

Kiddo bumped into the back corner of our other car parked on the street as he was backing out of our driveway. 🤦‍♀️ We haven’t gotten a quote yet. Checking here for advice first.

Yesterday I dropped my stanley bottle and it made massive damage on my car. It was empty and not even from a high distance! Unreal...

I wanted to see if it's possible to get it fixed? I'm not sure due to the location of the hit.

Thanks in advance.

Picked up this hood off marketplace for cheap and was wondering how feasible it is to get repaired without a respray

Not even a week on my new 2026 MY and someone door dinged me on the body line 😭. Is this an easy repair for PDR? What would be a good quote? This is on the driver side door

Frisbee from the neighbor created this ding above the rear wheel. It is small enough that its not noticeable unless you are looking for it. Is it DIYable? Or should I ignore it? Or spend $200 for professional work.

Edit: It is Honda Accord 2019

I own a 2026 RAM 1500 that hit on the side while getting in garage. For many months I did not get it fixed because I didn't wanted to get it worse. Fast forward yesterday, met a guy who convinced me that he can fix it and that he has been doing this for over 20 years.

He made a small hole on the inside of the door and took out the dent. At the time the whole area was covered with some compound, so he told me wash it after few hours. Once I did this I was horrified to find that it in fact even worse.

Not only the paint as chipped but the whole area is covered with small bumps. I called the guy and he told me that paint chip was result of him relieving stress on the area (which i call bullshit)

I am going to order a paint kit to get fill the chip, but I don't know what I can do make the area smooth. I don't want to get the whole door painted and without it, I fear that paint will not match.

What is my best option here? I am in Houston, if anybody has a trusted body shot that can fix it, without impacting carfax.

Went over a curb a few days ago and it left a pretty gnarly dent in my rocker. Anyone have any recomendations on a shop or individual that could pull this dent out?

So I had this little issue in my new Palisade, I guess I didn’t realize how much bigger it is but I scraped some overhanging branch next to my driveway. What’s my best option for fixing something like this? I really don’t want my rates to go up for something like this, there wasn’t any other car involved.

How difficult is something like this? Is this something I could tackle? Am I in the right place?

Hello everyone, i unfortunately got a dent in my 2005 Rx8. It was bigger to start off but ended up having a PDR guy get to it and pull out 99% of the damage. This is what he couldn't fix. Is there anyone who might've had an issue like this and got it repaired? I know it's not a crazy dent and where the dent is isn't the best area.. But the imperfection makes me want to drag my head across the asphalt.

Any tips or ideas are appreciated
