Default Door ding repair

Some moron must have leaned on their door while it was against my rear fender. I have a small and shallow vertical crease about 1/2" long right where the metal and plastic meet. No damage to the paint at all. It's hardly noticeable but it still really bothers me. The car is nearly perfect and I want to keep it that way. Anyone know of a good and reasonable door ding guy/girl?

Cool, I was just thinking about getting this done the other day. My new S has a few small dents on the driver rear quarter panel. Wonder how they get behind that quarter panel to massage the dents out?

Were the prices reasonable?

I'll second Nick from Dentbusters (linked above).

Their prices aren't the cheapest, but his work is fabulous. Nick typically will remove interior panels or taillights, etc to get to the dents. I've seen other dent folks that drill holes as a quick workaround, but Dentbusters/Nick tries to avoid that if possible.

I recently dropped off my wife's car with him to remove (what looked to be) 30+ small hail dents on the roof. These werent really noticeable in the first place, but since I'm completely over the top about keeping our cars in good shape (and she has the new car), the small dents finally got to me. Long story short, I cannot find any trace of them. I've also had him work on both my cars as well.

I'm wondering if he can get a tool between the flexible plastic and metal to pull the dent out since it's right above?

I have a friend that works at carmax and they have people that works from those places (dent repairs) and they need to drill a holes when they can't reach a dent, specially quarter panels. I thought my friend was pulling my leg until I saw it. Lol

They fix your dents but you will have a hole instead they will cover the holes with a rubber cap or silicone.
