PDR is skill. Not something I'd recommend trying on your car. You need certain tools to do the job correctly from the inside of the panel.
The quote I got was $75-100 per panel. I have one ding in my passenger rear door. I just haven't had the time to get it done.

I had some PDR work done recently by a guy in the Princeton, NJ area. $75 for the first repair, $25 each additional. The first (drivers door) was a big dent left by a baseball, second (passenger fr. door) was a sharp crease, most likely from a careless door opening. Very pleased with the results. LMK if you would like his contact info.
Hope this helps,
Brian

I totally recommend PDR... I used Dentwizard.. Offer to pay in cash for a discount, some of these guys will do it for less.. BUT ASK HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE before you have the dent removed!!!

Amazing Results..

Paintless dent removal is almost too good to be true. I have had several dents removed and you absolutely can not tell there was a dent to begin with. It is amazing what an experienced pro can do and save you alot of $$$ from the paint shop.

i work in pdr as well..nail on the head right there...

any fool can order the tools right off the net...our techs are sent to school for 6 months and they are supervised EXTREMELY closely for their first year..

you wouldn't believe some of the crap we see from people who have taken it to the "cheap" fools first, then come crying back when it turns out like shiat..

I need to get this done as well. But I think that some of my problems are from "wavey" looking paint, or very light door dings. Can this be repaired with PDR?

"Wavey" paint (Orange peel) can be repaired by wet-sanding not paintless ding repair (PDR). See Glasurit, Advice on Paint and Paintwork Defects http://www.glasurit.com/Service/

I for one, had a great experience with PDR. The company that got a dent out of my car was called Dent Monsters here in Atlanta. I had a ding on my driver's door. I tried the Dent King dent removal kit from Auto Zone, but it didn't work. I should have known though, anything that has Billy Mays on the package doesn't work.

Anyway I took the car to Acura's body shop, and they of course wanted to charge $400 to do some bullshit to get it out. I got a quote from Dent Wizard and they wanted to charge $98, I then called Dent Monsters, and they quoted $65, they came to my house the same day and got out the ding with no problem.

lol exceldetail.....i'm mobile...as for wavey repairs that sounds more like bad body work or bad pdr work togwt is right wet sanding is your best bet, other than body shopping the pannel over....as for the ding king trust me don't waste your time or money.why pay $20 for something that does not work when pdr usally starts at $50
