Default Small dent..... How much to get fixed???

I have a small dent on my pass side front fender... right on the flare.... Its about an 1/2inch 1inch big.... It's nothing really, you can't even really tell its there unless you look.... Just wondering because its on the flare itself... it would be kind of hard to get fixed.... has anyone had this done by a body shop??? and how much would it cost?

A chunk of dry ice applied to the area sometimes works. or reduced the severity of the dent.

wear gloves

That is what I always do. Usually costs around here $60-$80 depending on where the dent is at. I just put a ding in my front quarter panel when I was taking out my motor last week, I'm taking it in on Monday to have it fixed, if the car is running.

Carsmetics actually does a good job at ding removal, despite what people say about them.

What do you apply it to? The back side of the panel? How exactly is this done? Does it work for small dings?
