Los Angeles Paintless Dent Removal?

does anyone have a referral for a good paintless dent repair person in LA? i called one guy and he quoted me $100 for a small dent that i have on my rear quarter panel. he charged me $75 about 5 years ago, but he conveniently doesn't remember that. seems like everyone wants to hike prices ... everyone except for the people signing my paychecks, that is!

seriously, though, if anyone has a referral, i'd appreciate it. thanks.

Question Really?

Maximus- Paintless dent repair is an art- and you have seemingly already found someone good at it yet you are sweating $25 on a $100k car?
When a tank of gas these days costs more than having a dent taken out and when done right you won't ever know it ever existed, I would pay the extra $25 gladly, or you can go the cheap route and test the waters with some hacks.

I run a 20 year old business that teaches people PDR and my techs and I wouldn't even touch a benz like yours for under $200.
$100 is a DEAL.

touchy, touchy. i ask for referrals and instead end up with an aggro response like this. and btw, a C63 costs around $70k new, not $100k.

+100. I did mine on the hood which some people I called gave me grief over it because its aluminum at Walter's MB in Riverside where I bought my car. This is at a dealership and they charged me $120.
