I went over to the dingdepot located in Mclean,VA and the guy gave me a quote for $450.00. I was thinking WTF?? I tried to negotiate but the guy claims that hes got the cheapest price around. So then I said, Thank you, have a nice day.

Now my question is, what is a reasonable price for the the entire right side of the car? the rear panel has like 4 dings, the door itself has like 10, and the front panel has like 3.

Any comments/suggestions would be of great help

here is a pic of my car just to get some attention to the post

sounds about right for that many dings. Still cheaper than actual bodywork

most paint-less dent removal places don't get the entire thing out ...... there is still a dip of small imperfections to show that something was there.......

personally i wouldn't worry about it until i painted the car......

good luck

yea man thats a great price to tell you the truth

Where i work we have a guy who comes in and does pdr and usually he gets around 300
for just a couple dings like 50-100 per ding/dent

Actually if the person doing the job has been doing the job for a while and is good at it you could never tell their was a ding their.

I have looked at cars that came into my shop and thought how the hell is he gonna get that out but then go back afterwards and cant even tell it was their

So it all depends on the guy doing it.

so do you guys think i should go ahead and do it?? i was think about getting my moldings completely shaved and then painted any idea how much that would cost??

If you are looking to do more custom bodywork like your mouldings then just get the dings fixed at the same time because why waste your money on pdr when you are gonna have to do bodywork and paint it

But if you are gonna just get the pdr and not the bodywork go for it just make sure they are a good shop

man, i went dent removal shopping and the cheapest quote for my entire car was $2k. For just the trunk, roof and hood they quoted $1k I'll take 450 any day
