I'd really appreciate some help. What is the term for pressing out a dent instead of drilling and pulling it out? I saw one of the shows on SpeedVision that had a guy using different tools to press out dents. I have two small dimples, ~1", on my hood to remove. Last night a squall line came through and a two inch branch came off the tree and hit the hood right in the middle.

I'd rather have it pressed out and eliminate the need to paint but I can't remember what they called the process.

Yup... it's called PDR...

is it expensive though? any idea about the price range?

i have a small dent on the hood as well... (dunno what happened... but it was really pissed me off since my car is only a week old with 230 miles on it!)

 

I think it heavily depends on the dent, whether its creased or on a curve ect. rough guess of 100-200 give or take 300$.

for a week old car, you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

I don't even think it costs that much, but whatever the cost it is WAY less expensive than the traditional method of fixing dents: strip paint, fill in dent, paint, blend.

 

darn! that's not cheap!
anyway, i will go to the workshop tomorrow, wanna check the price first... coz it's very small (about 1"), not too deep...

 

It really depends on the size of the dent and how hard it is to get to.

I had a ding in my door (~2-3 inches) and the guy simply massaged it out from inside. he went in through the window sill (taking care not to scratch the glass (no sharp tools used).

Final cost?


$40 bucks.

I would not pay more than $100 per dent. The guy did mine in 15 minutes as I watched.

good luck

Thank you! Thats' what I was looking for. The paint is good and the dent isn't a crease so I think this will work.

I was going to a show today but I passed on it because of the dents. I have to get them fixed first before I feel right about others looking at it.

After checking the web site for locations, I see get to go back to my old Eclipse dealer. They were pretty good people, just didn't sell Zs.

 

i went to the workshop this morning, and they said that it will cost me 65 bucks to repair that stupid dent...

 

I had a small dent pressed out on my driver's side door.

Cost me $65. I isn't nearly as complex to get to the underside of a hood ding, so I would imagine it would cost much less to press those out.

Also, the job was quite good. I can't find a trace of the former ding - looks new!!
