Trunk ding and PDR

I have a ding about the size of a dime on my trunk from backing into a garbage can...I know

Anyhow, it's annoying and do you guys think it'll be an issue for the PDR guys to get this out.





I'm only concerned since it's at the rounded edge and also they might have issues getting into that area.

I had a ding on my Toyota van when it was brand new from the dealer. The dent was on a curved part of the hatch lid above the license plate. The PDR guy pushed it out, no problem.They use long rods to pry the dent out. For difficult to access areas they drill a small hole which they plug afterwards.

I can't see the pic here at work, but my PDR guy kicks ass -- he got out close to 20 dents, from 6" long linear dents, to small dime-sized ones, from the hood, trunk, all 4 doors, the rear 1/4 panel, and the A-pillar. The car looked brand new afterwards. Go get an estimate and see, it's the only way to be sure!

He was able to get it out but there's some bubbling from the paint which isn't too bad but he said it was an area that was too hard to get too and it happens.

They had to cut a hole in the bottom of my trunk lid to get to that spot. All in all, I'm pleased not to see the dent there.
