My wife's Buick had a dent in the hood. Took it to a paintless dent repair and for $125 they fixed it. I could not see anything from the dent. This was much less expensive than repainting the pearlized white paint. Also they wouldn't guarantee a match on an 8 year old car.
Just used this service. Absolutely incredible. I did get a few other quotes up to having to take door off to fix, for $600-$800. Local guy doing it for 30 years did it for $125.00.
The guy's I've encountered at dealerships performing this work and more are magicians, artists, very very good!
