It would have been $50.00 without me removing the door panel. He said he would have drilled a small hole by the door latch (and plugged it with a plastic cap when done) if I did not remove the panel. He works the dents out from the inside with hand tools that can fit long and different angle extensions. I work at GM and it's the same procedure the guys in the repair stalls use to remove dents and creases as GM is not allowed by law to use any filler for metal repair. You would be surprised how easy they can get to a dent that seems out of reach

I would have no problem paying $65.00 to get rid of an ugly dent that's always in the back of your mind

it all depends on the dent
some they can get out, depending on the level of skill that particular person has

When i bought my previous car(i still own it) 1997 grand am, it looked flawles..
a couple of years ago i started painting cars and worked at a body shop, then finally went over my car and found where they have fixed my dents previously (paintless) .. to the naked eye... usually will be more than satisfactory without downtime for the car

paintless dent remover (PDR) does wonders....whenever I had my cavalier I had plenty of dents that had to be pulled out, and no interior whatsoever had to be pulled. The guy did an excellent job and for $50 for the whole car not bad at all. Consider it, its not BS.
