Auto body repair & detailing: Small Dent, quality body shop, dentless repair


Question
Hi,

I have a small dent that I received in a parking lot (a mystery dent like most). The dent is behind the door and to the left of the wheel on the body. It is minor (2"x3") and basicly needs to be pulled out and buffed. I do not know any auto repair shops around my area and hate to randomly pick someone out of the phone. What do you suggest?
And how much would you estimate this to be?

The car is an Acura TL 2001, black.


Thanks for your help,

Hello Dean,
 You may want to check your area for a Dentless Repair Company.  They can pull out most dents to about an 85% improvment.  If there aren't any in your area, it is important to find a quality body shop for the repairs.  Ask
some friends and relatives if they have used any of the shops in your area and ask how the service and quality was.
You can also ask the shop if they have a guarentee on their repairs and refinish work.  We offer a 5 year warrenty on our repairs.
 From the information you have given us on the dent, we have estimated the cost at approx $ 350.00 if it were done at our shop.  If you find a dentless repair company, the cost will be much less.  Please note that the estimated cost is based on the labor rates in our area.  
Thank you,
