Need Help: Small Dent Fix

Hi all,


So a piece of ice fell off my house and hit the hood of my car. I know have a small dent in the hood that is driving me crazy. No damage to the paint or anything like that so I'm hoping it can be popped out. Does anyone know of someone in the Toronto, ON, CAN area that would do this? Or any other suggestions.?

It is called paintless dent repair. As long as there is no crease and the paint is in place they go behind the panel and rub it out. I have used them many times on different cars and places on the car. They charge about $50 for each dent unless you have a lot of hail damage then they charge a flat fee.

I wish I had one nearby. I've inquired and it sounds like there are specialist that dealer's and body shops contract out to come in and repair minor dents. They do this a lot on used cars.

Paintless dent repair is a miracle technique. These guys seriously know what they are doing. I have used them on many occasions and can't say enough good things about them. Just don't ask to watch them ply their trade.
