Please help!!!
Is this something that can be pdr’d? I was working on my suspension and dialing in my coilovers when my fender came out too much, I assumed if it was pliable enough to bend out when I turned the wheel by hand it would just as easily go back, I was wrong. I just got a 2 step paint correction and 10 year systemX coating a few days ago and I really hate getting any paint work done (original owner). The highest reviewed tech in my area with 1.5k+ reviews and 5.0 stars said it’s repairable but won’t hold. What do you guys think? He said it needs to be reinforced. Anyone know what route to go about this, without any paint work?

Do y'all think that PDR would be possible on this dent?
So, I hit a deer recently and I was wondering if it would be possible for this to be a paintless job, given that there is no visible paint damage, particularly in regards to the main, large dent.

Is this fixable or a definite body shop job?
Happened a couple years ago in my old apartment complex and apartment complex cameras weren’t even setup. Car is garage kept now. Driver side door, had a friends PDR contact say it can’t be repaired due to the crease coming from the brace that runs inside the door but wanted more opinions if it’s fixable or doomed.

Is Paintless Dent Removal a good career in 2026?
Trying to figure out a good trade to specialize in, this seems like a good career. What do you guys think?

My Neighbor backed into my car, how should I go about pulling this dent out?
The car was parked in the street, my neighbor backed into it with his F150 and pushed the rear fender inwards, I can see the point of impact/deepest spot and the crease seems very smooth, so if I pulled hard enough on it, shouldn't it go back into shape?
I am not expecting perfection I just want to get the bumper lined back up and the trunk to close properly again.
Should I try and pull this out? Or should I try and push it out from the inside? Also, what kind of at home tools could I use for this?
Also, side note, if there is a good PDR guy in Detroit Metro that would do this for reasonable money, I wouldn't be against paying someone who knows what they are doing, lol.
Edit: to clarify insurance totaled the car and let me keep it, I already have another vehicle (actually 5, lol), the intent of this is to just try something new until I sell this car on, or scrap it after I harvest all of my parts off of it.

Fixing Tiny Dent in Door
There is a dent in the door with a circumference smaller than any of the suction cup dent removers I am seeing online (it's far smaller than a dime). I'd like to fix it, but wonder if it's worth it or could potentially do more damage pulling out a larger section than is impacted.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

PDR possible?
Came back to my car with this dent on the back whilst parked, is PDR do-able or is this a bigger job? The white is paint transfer from the other car which I haven’t been able to remove yet.

What could have caused this, and is it fixable?
Hey guys,
I own a 2009 Civic coupe, came out to my car and saw this point and what appears to be a crease. What is weird to me is that the dent is coming from the inside, but the trunk is too far back and the passenger compartment is too far forward. I park outside in my driveway, but it is a large driveway away from my family’s cars and no trees for anything to fall from.
Only thing that comes to mind, is I heard something hit my car on the highway the other day, and never really saw what it could be. Perhaps a rock flew up and caused this? Let me know if more pictures or video would be good. TIA!

Tailgate scares me. Can it be fixed.
2022 gmc. I know it's a truck, but it's not my truck so I need to fix it. I think my best options are PDR or painted oem parts llc and swapping everything over. Is it worth getting quotes on PDR or are tailgate tops too difficult?

Insurance says this can all be repaired with PDR, do we agree?
2024 Kia Sorrento S- google says Actual Cash Value is $18000-$22000. There is hail damage to roof, roof rails, hood, passenger side front and rear panels and driver side front and rear panels, oddly there isn't much to the rear at all that i could see. There aren't necessarily thousands of dents but some of them are pretty big. Insurance adjuster did a video call and said its not a total loss but I think once its in the body shop they are going to find its much more extensive and costly

Where do I go from here?
Before and after.
Everyone I’ve spoken to has told me at minimum $1100 for this. I don’t know that I’m gonna be able to do it myself all the way through, but I would like to get it in a condition that will not warrant such a high amount to get it fixed.
I’ve been working my way through some of the bigger creases, but I don’t know what to do to get this looking better. Any advice from the experts here?
I have a slide hammer and tabs, a puller, and some knockdowns. I also have a light board but I’m certainly not there yet.

Dent repair advice
Hi everyone, someone hit the side door of my cybertruck and unfortunately they did not have insurance… is this still repairable? Or do I absolutely need a new panel… been trying with a heat gun and some suction cups but so far it only works in small areas and once it cools the dent returns to before. Any advice is welcome!

Can this be fixed with a PDR ?
Hey everyone,
I just picked up my new Model Y yesterday, and I’m absolutely loving it so far. Such a beautiful car!
Unfortunately, I’ve already had two minor incidents. 😅
The first is a small dent on the trunk door that I noticed. I’m honestly not sure how it happened. It doesn’t look like a deep impact, so I’m wondering if anyone has ideas on what could have caused it. Has anyone had something similar happen? Any suggestions on the best way to fix it? Would paintless dent repair (PDR) be the way to go?
Then, to make matters worse, this morning I was opening the trunk in my parking garage and accidentally hit an overhead pipe. That left another small dent/mark on the edge of the trunk. Lesson learned!
I’d appreciate any thoughts on what might have caused the rear door dent and the best repair options for both spots. Thanks!

PDR Worthy?
Had a mishap when jacking up the car and wanted to know if a PDR could take care of it? I'm not looking for perfection just less of an eyesore lol
