Dent how bad is it.
How bad is it? Are we looking at replacing the Panel or taking to body shop to fix the dents? Like $250-$500 or more. |

Paintless dent removal may be an option here. Ask the dealer where you purchased who they use for PDR. It’s worth a shot.

Thanks and I will. I did have one person say replace the panel but I don't want to do that if I don't have too.

Avoid panel replacement...or feel the pain
I had to have quarter panel replaced due to collision. It’s not a pretty ordeal. I had no choice. Fortunately, yours appears not to need such an envasive repair. If paint is not fractured, hopefully PDR will do.

I’d replace the fender. A good body shop can match the paint perfectly. I’d say $750 - $1,000.

That body line on the wheel well will play hell on the pdr guy to get right I'm sure. But totally doable. Seen our pdr guys in the gm plants do some crazy stuff. Just takes a real good pdr guy their not all equal lol

I agree.. I've used PDR company here in my area several times over the years and the one comment back has been if it's right on a crease or deep body line you can't make it invisible. Most of the time they will not even attempt to correct.

On a crease like that, you will probably need body work. It's repairable though, depending on the shop, probably around 6 hundred. No way you need to replace the fender.

Those saying PDR is not an option because the defect encompasses a body line are wrong. The following link contains photographs of repairs performed by my preferred local PDR service company. As you can see, there's no reason a competent PDR technician can't repair the damage to your vehicle.

Dent how bad is it
Photoshop will not get you through that repair . You will not like how it turns out even if someone tries. The good news is any money you spend with a pdr guy is not wasted money because it gets you closer to the finish conventional repair if they do fail . The shop will not charge you as much to repair the dent then because some of the rough repairs have been done . At my collision center I would suggest that you schedule it in with us and have a pdr guy try and if they fail then we would do a full repair. It would take 3.5 /4 hrs to repair the panel for paint . If the PDR guy fails but gets a lot of it out it will only take maybe 2 from there to get it to paint . Understand . It would not be wasted money.
