Default Dents and Dings?

Well when I was at work today there was a pretty bad storm and to make a long story short by car got rammed with a shopping cart. Its not really deep but its about 2 inches long right on the front quarter panel of my car right below the GT emblem and its already bugging the **** out of me. I was looking at having it removed along with one other dent. Has anyone ever dealt with Paintless Dent Removal and is it worth having done?

Good, Im just too OCD about my car. Im hoping they can get to it easily enough. Its a bout 4" below the GT emblem on my passenger side, and its about 2" long but its not deep at all.

After you get it repaired, try parking in a different section of the parking lot. I don't drive my Mach to work, but I used to drive my GT. I would park in a different part of the parking lot for other stores where they were not any carriages. Park as close to the edge of the curb as possible and try to get a friend to park on the other side of you so that noone is getting in and out near your car. I am **** about it, but that is what I do.

Yea I always park in the very back of the parking lot, and its uphill. The wind was just so strong it blew the car right up and into my car. But im scouting for an even better spot now.

To ZOOOM^^. They use a bunch of rods with different angles and sizes for that dent. they put like a mirror on a suction cup next to the dent and go to work... removing whatever panel they have to get to the dent.... for his case it would probablybe the fender well.
