Default Paintless dent removal

Has anybody ever tried Paintless Dent Removal? I am thinking of trying Dent Magic near Mason for a small dent in a rear fender. Just wonder how good it is and how expensive.

I don't remember the cost, but I had it done on an Audi A4 i used to have. It came out awesome. You couldn't find where the dents were if you tried. And this was a black car. So for me, it worked out perfect.

I had it done on my Explorer. You can't tell where the dings were. Find a good technician, you will be very happy with the outcome.

Had some hail damage on the black roof of my 12 Boss. The results was flawless, could not tell there was any dents when they finished. Think I had 25+ dings.

I've had it done twice. Once on the right rear fender for a basketball sized dent that I mysteriously got in a parking lot. Cost $90 and you can't tell it was ever there. Scond was on the drivers door on the ridge right below the mirror. Again about $90 and no trace left. I didn't think they would be able to get that one because it was not on a flat surface. I'm very pleased.

To add to the positives, I had it done as well and came out great. Was on my stock black hood, don't recall the cost but I know it wasn't much. I'd highly recommend talking to a PDR tech if you have small dents before getting worried about going to a body shop.

I emailed a couple of digi pics to the place. this ding is like 1" long and very shallow. I doubt you'd be able to find it if I didn't point it out. Very minor. I was expecting no more than $50, but the estimate that came back was $145. I know they are good, but I'm not sure it's worth that much to me.

I had a small orange size dent done on the hood of one of my cars. It was about 80 if remember correctly. Shop around. Most good body shops have a PDR guy there.

I had a lease return and the 3rd party lease inspector said it would be $243 if the dealer fixes the ding. It was maybe the size of a nickel on the rear hatch on this kia I had for daily use. Found a paintless dent guy and he did it for $125.00. flawless work.
