Icon6 Dent removal

Anyone know of a reputable body shop within the Norcal area that can fix this dent? My friend was quoted $1,200 dollars for it which seems like overkill to me.

Considering the location of the dent is on the body line, it'd be a lot harder to "hammer" it out. You could very easily mess up the panel, by doing so.

Yeah, it interferes with the fender's body line a bit. But $1,200??

that should be less than a hundred bucks. they use a long or short skinny metal stick and push it out. i had mine done all aound for 300 bucks.

in your case, they go underneath the fender.

PS: go to youtube and type in "dent time" or paintless dent removal.
