How hard is it to fix this?
I got a dent in my passenger side rear fender Sat. night, and I'm worried that it won't look right again. I don't have any experience with getting small dents fixed, so I don't know what will have to be done. Can it be fixed without repainting? Here's a couple of pics, it looks a little worse in person.
Thanks-

How did it happen? Is the paint cracked?
From the looks of it, I would think paintless dent removal would remove it. It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures.

Yep
PDR (Paintless Dent repar) all the way man... They did my last car for 75 bucks... took the tail light out screwed a whole and ran some 90 degee angled bars down while they put a hige ass yellow cone along the car and reflected light off the paint and cone... pushed it right out and I could never tell where the dent was after that...

No the paint's not cracked or scratched. So how do I go about finding a Paintless Dent repair place, do I just look it up in the Yellow pages?
Thanks for the responses.

I just had a much bigger & deeper dent taken out of my front quarter panel (a shovel fell on it) ....it even pushed up the crease where the hood meets the fender. The paintless dent guy took about 15 minutes to work the metal back to as good as new condition, if I didn't know where it was, I would never be able to tell. You will have no trouble getting this fixed perfectly.

OOh yeah
Try the Yellow pages... most of them will come right to you and do the work... call around, get the best price and then call the BBB and see if they have a good rating... call them back and schedule an appt.

yeah, i've used paintless dent repair also, the guy charged me $80 bucks to remove a "crease". I couldn't tell it was even there.
Danny, this guy will come to your job, home, whereever. he's in Plano, so I don't know how far he will travel. He does great work and is very professional.
His name is Jeff Detrich, and his number is 972-612-5000
