Door ding repair

[Jon54]

after 2 years and 10 months of ownership, got my first ding. It’s very small but in the middle of the passenger door. Ballpark, how much can I expect pointless dent repair to cost? Also, is this done while you wait?

It shouldn't be to much if it's small. For an example this one here cost Brandon @dondonbabyraptor $375.00 and he's in San Diego where prices are usually higher.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I won't be going through the insurance. It costed $375 for a paintless dent repair to fix it.

wow almost 3 years is amazing. I got first ding in the first couple days.every new car from now on, I'm dinging it before I drive off the lot to pop the cherry. I think most people here would cringe from my beat up tailgate

Dent from broken tree branch. Paintless Dent Removal quotes all over the board. $75 to $250. Most said since it is on the curve of the hood, may still be slightly noticeable. There are some do it yourself videos on YouTube. PDR Kits run about $60. Might just install a bug deflector to hide. FYI, all asked if the hood was aluminum, said pulling dents out of aluminum is tougher that steel.

I usually pay $75 and I just wait. Its pretty quick, 10-15 minutes.

As @AzScorpion mentioned, I did pay a slight premium being in a rat race city but if it's truly a small small ding on the door, it really should be around $100 or less as others stated with PDR. And yes, aluminum is tougher than steel to work with in terms of PDR, it also can't be over bent one way or another. Sometimes the pricing depends how easily they can access the backside to do the PDR work. Best of luck, hope this gives an idea roughly. I also have seen some PDR guys do the repairs without the straight line light beam(whatever this is called in the industry) it basically reflects light to make sure all dents are evenly knocked out. So I guess different prices could have it with or without.

I just had literally hundreds of dings (hail damage) repaired on mine. Was ~$5300, looks like new now. All paintless dent removal!

Guys, thanks for the info. Here’s hoping for a prosperous and HEALTHY 2022!

Get some of these and put them on after the repair. Will save you from the inconsiderate knuckleheads out there https://www.sportwing.com/FE-RANGER...ody-Side-Molding?search=Ranger&category_id=50

Most places in this area start around $75 for most door dimples and give slight discounts if there are more than one that they can get in one sitting . That looks more like a $250 repair . As mentioned , aluminum doesn't have the memory that steel has so it has to be worked out and takes longer . Aluminum stretches more where steel wants to pop back out more easily .
