Big dent with no creases = toilet plunger
Small dent = dent doctor (I had my whole car de- dented for $85)

Without seeing it its hard to tell. If you can get to it from the backside you might try pushing it out, worst case it'll make it less noticeable.

Assuming that the trunk isn't buckled, look in you local phone book and see if you can
find a "paintless dent removal" group. I believe they are franchaised.

You'd be supprised at the labor in trying to do it yourself. If you really want to get
into body work, then Harbor Freight sells an electric stud welder kit for about $150.
You weld studs on the dent and use a slide hammer to pull it out. Then you have to
bondo and paint.

That is the Dent Dr. I had a bunch of door dings etc removed from my 93 for $55, but he cut me a bit of a deal because my old lady works for one of the dealerships he services.

Comparing Dent Wiz to Dent Dr, does Dent Dr use the state the art tools as dent wiz? how would you rate the job?

I have one dent on my hood, about 6 dents in total on driver side and rear side, one on my passenger side and one more on my passenger fender. hwo much do you think that would run
