What would you guys do?

Contact a local paintless dent repair company. Or go to the junk yard and see if you can find a new door.

Yeah those were my first thoughts, just figure I'd ask first. I had been trying take picture but was not successful. Yesterday was the right place and right time for these pictures.

I was thinking about contacting him. He requests pictures sent through email so he can give a proper quote. Good reviews too.

IMO, that is right in the wheel house for a good PDR tech. Middle of the door - thin, soft metal - no seam - easy money for him, and easy smile for you. Good luck...

Hard to say. It depends on the area and how good they are. Do NOT quote me on this. I ussually see (guessing retail-wise as I don't pay retail) $25 for the first dent $10 for each additional. Maybe...ish.

Any other ideas on pricing?
 
Seriously guys replace the door because of 4 small dents that did not even break the paint? Really? Cost of replacement door, weather stripping, fitment including glass and repaint.

PDR guy can fix this good as new for less than $100. Remove the door panel and you most likely will have direct access to these dents. Hammer and dolly them and I bet you'd get almost as good a result as a PDR guy.

Art PM me for referrals if youre in SoCal.
 
Yes you have nothing to worry about. I've seen a lot worse dents than those repaired to like new. These PDR guys are a much better alternative.
 
Yeah PDR is the way I was going. Was just wondering if some of you guys would fix it yourselves...
 
Yeah PDR it is for me, I do remember my uncle saying "look" the car had a dent and popped if right out.

My other says (which is true) that he can get 3 cars. One wrecked in the front, other wrecked in the middle, and 3rd in the rear, he would cut each one and make a whole new car with all 3 car sections.

My other uncle is an estimator, other uncle a mechanic, grandpa a auto painter, dad a shop owner, other owns a auto body shop, that's where I learned.


The buffing bug just bit me... I love cosmetically restoring cars.
