Default Door Ding repair prices?

Hello all,
I've gotten to the point where the door dings are really bothering me. My car looks perfect but on the drivers side rear quarter panel, there are relatively small door dings. Anyone know what I should expect to pay to get them fixed? There is a guy who does Paintless Dent Removal 2 days a week at the local Mercedes dealership so I was going to take it to him. Just wanted to see what a fair price might be. I have no idea...
Thanks!

Is it dented or purely cosmetic? if it is just cosmetic then go to your local ford dealership or ebay and get a bottle of touch up paint that perfectly matches your cars paint code. i think just about everyone here has one. it cost $10 and has a brush and a pen attached to a .5 oz bottle. otherwise prepare to pay out the @$$. i mean, come on, its a freakin Mercedes dealership!!!
also

Nope there are actual dents. I really don't think pictures would help that much. Most people know what a door ding looks like. It basically looks like a golf ball hit the side of my care. It's not scratched at all.

Its like $50-$60 per ding, but it will look like new again. If you get them often in the same spot I would wait till you had a couple more and paint/redo the entire planel. It would be cheaper.

Hey Chain1, You could try something what I did on my wifes SUV. Get a nice warm day atleast 70F, get a bottle of airdust. When you turn it upside down you get super cold air. When there is a sudden temp change on metal from warm to cold it might pop the dent out.
Good luck. It might not work...

Paintless dent repair is the right way to go. I paid $150 to get a couple of hard to get to dings repaired. You can't even see where the dents ever were.

Nope, if you believe that comment, then you'll have to believe in Snow White.
