Thumbs down my first DENT AHHH

After a year and a half of ownership, I got my first dent just the other day. I usually take a quick look for dents when I get out of and get into my car, but on this certain day I was in a rush so I didn't notice it until I got home. Not too big, but definitely bothers me.

Any reputable paintless dent removers in the OC area you guys can suggest??

on a sidenote, WTF is with that truck in the 2nd picture?

You could probably try a paintless dent repair first, since it doesn't look that bad.

A skilled PDR tech should definitely be able to take care of that --- I've had much worse successfully repaired. Do your homework and look for recommendations when selecting where to have it done.

luckily that looks like an easy fix for PDR. It usually cost $100-$150 per panel.
