First Dents hurt the worst
Right above the back bumper on the Qtr Pane
Think it was a shopping cart
two little dents

Will PDR be able to get this out or is there something else I can do to get them out?

Awww...that sucks! Why do people have to be so disrespectful to other people and damage their vehicle without leaving their name and an apolagy. My friend just told me her brand new Corolla sport (I know its just a Corolla) had the front of her car backed into with no notes or anything...things like this really annoy me!
But as others have said, the dents repairs are very doable especially because they are not along a kink in the body. Best of luck and keep up posted (with pics please)

You got lucky - no paint damage. After PDR, you'll never know it was there.

lol, got some in the same spot in the RDX. You could try park in the end spots (not under a tree) and NEVER park in the dip (center of lot) where the carts roll to. Even if you do, inevitably someone kid will open their door into your car.

First dents and scratches do hurt the most.
I try to prevent by side body moulding and parking
both far and thoughtfull of attacking carts kids and other.
I have a buddy that owns PDR and its amazing work.
Try to use the PDR's that service dealers with new cars
like my buddy does.
The dealers really know who to pick.

I will ask them when I take the car there.
Thanks

as long as the PDR guys isn't the guy doing the touch up paint work too.
the dealer lot guy who does touch up....hit and miss. the one at my dealer managed to mess up the fix on the tailgate of my MDX...not once, but THREE times (the first, the paint didn't match, the 2nd, he left wet sand marks on the entire clearcoat, the 3rd time...the paint bubbled 2 months after the fact). i was so fed up i took it to the body shop for a proper respray.
so while in most cases the guy who does dealer work is good....they aren't ALWAYS the best guys. the dealer wants the car looking good just to sell it. if it means cutting corners...then...you end up with shoddy work down the line. just something for you to keep in mind.
i've had PDR work done for my TL recently by a VERY reputable local company that my body shop sublets work to. they did an amazing job and even pulled a crease out of my door as a courtesy after working on 4 other panels on my car.
good luck!

My personal favorite is the women who circle the parking lot at the gym (old Bally's Total Fuckups). I used to laugh my ass off. 10 minutes trying to get a spot up front by the door, then 20 minutes on the elliptical. I finally gave up on the Bally's bitches and bought my own machine and hung a TV on the wall in the office so I can work out at home and aviod the mess in the lot.
