Well some ******* opened thier door right into my rear quarter panel the other day. I dont know who it was though... but they left me a nice size ding. How much does it cost (an estimate) to get those things out?

The local Ding Removal store Dent Wizard charges $85 for the first ding and $25 per each extra ding. So it is in your best interest (economically) to wait for more door dings. They are inevitable.

I did Dent Wizard for around $100 on my rather nasty driver's door ding, and I was blown away at what an excellent job they did. The door looks perfect.

I noticed on their website that they do paintless repairs. I have a nasty ding on my driver's rear door but it is indeed nasty and down to the base metal or primer (greyish color)in the center. Do they also retouch paint or should I consult an autobody shop? Also, how long does Dent Wizard take? Can you just wait while they do it or do you have to drop off your car?
