PDR question

I have about 15+ nickle to penny size dents all over my car from a hail storm a while ago, as well as a medium dent along my drivers side fender lip(5 inches) From somebody who hit me in a parking lot and didnt decide to leave anything. My question is how much do you guys think a PDR place would charge to get all of these fixed, they ruin the beauty of my car and its quite frustrating!

hail dents depends on location. your big ding...that maybe a body shop fix...pictures would help.

you need to call around to PDR places and get an estimate. usually it's about $150-$200 a panel pending location of dings on the panels which may drive the cost up a little.

looks like your qtr panel is going to be a body shop fix. it looks crumpled in the pic.

the other dings...can be fixed by PDR.

if you go to a body shop they can get a PDR guy (they sublet to) to come to the shop and do the work while they can do the qtr panel. most of your dings are on flat panels except the qtr panel. this is good since it's easier to work on flatter panels. curves get VERY challenging and the price goes up.

rr qtr fix will be expensive if you go that route (the shop would have to blend the whole panel). at least $7-800. what the hell did you hit?

I didn't hit anything haha i parked at an event and next to an x5 whose wheels i saw turned completely to the right i was to the right of the car and i knew something bad was going to happen but i just left it next day got the car washed and a rep told me he could buff it out....(rrrright) haha but then i saw it and knew exactly what it was from damn old people couldn't even leave a note(i saw them driving their car away that night)
But it doesn't look that bad in person but ill have to get a quote i guess!

ah...hit and run. i had that happen to my rear qtr. no note. talk to a PDR guy and talk to a shop to see what the best approach would be for the rr qtr.

post another pic at a different angle in the sun...that might help.
