Default Paintless Dent Removal?

So I was at my friends daughter's bday party and there were a bunch of little kids everywhere. Well I guess one of them manage to fall into my drivers side quarter panel and now theres a big dent in it. I went a professional dent guy and he told me that he would be able to take it out if there arent any braces behind the panel. He would just drill a 1/2 hole in the door panel area and push them out, but he wont be able to do that if there are braces behind the panel. Anybody happen to have a diagram or ran into this problem before? Thanks.

It depends on how big the dent is, or if the paint is cracked. If it's not that big, call dent wizard. This one guy took out four dents for $150 after hours at his house. Well, they were more dings than dents and I knew his dad. My car was transformed to original condition with no drilling or painting.

Yep, when I first bought mine I had the guy go over the car and take care of a couple of extremely minor dings and dents that almost every panel had and there was no drilling of any kind involved. Great stuff when done by someone who is good at it

i had mine rear quarter popped out by "dent doctor"...he just used some suction cups to get the majority of it out but had to go in the trunk to do the rest. it cost 225 and looked great at first sight but after some more looking, in different light, i could see at certain angles some weird what looked like ripples, even though it was smooth to the touch and looking straight on. maybe it was cuz my car is black......
i was unhappy with this so when it was in the shop for something else, i asked the other shop about it and they said because of where the dent was....part of upper part of the quarter panel, where it starts to curve right near the trunk lid, that they shoulda never tried to pop it out cuz it wouldnt be done perfect without paint work and sanding. needless to say, turned out my dent could have be filed as a comprehensive claim since i was pushed into my car, my comp deduct was 250 and i paid 225 for the Dent Doctor,....i showed my reciept to the new body shop and they took care of the rest, i paid 25 more to cover the left over deduct. money and they repaired it back to new, including paint.
