Can this be fixed with PDR?

Picked this up in a parking garage, some idiot parked next to me in my special spot away from everyone. Think its in to bad of a spot or PDR should have no problem?

If its a crease, they will likely need to get behind it to smooth it out. I have a crease on my 06 mustang, no one would touch it... except one guy that wanted to drill a 1/8" hole in the wheel housing and charge me $400+ to do it. Its still creased.



You can just txt people the pic and get an estimate, or their refusal to take the job. But I'd take a closer picture so they can see it better.

Thanks for understanding the OP's question.


PDR =

a) Performance Data Recorder
or

b) Paintless Dent Removal


On the Camaro, I was thinking "A" and could not for the life of me understand what was being asked.

If its where im looking, above the rear wheel, right?

Easiest fix for a PDR guy for that area is drilling a hole through your fender liner and into the panel gap to get behind it. They dont even need to take the wheel off.

At most thats $125-$300 Job out here in California. An experienced PDR tech can get that out in less than 20 minutes with 98%-100% results

Now we all know everything's better in TX <unless you live in the city of Austin> Cost - Figure a $100 , a beer with a joyride down a back street.

You may be laughing.......hahaha this guy has no clue-but I do. If you care about any of your vehicles - make friends with a GOOD PDR guy.
Mines saved to my phone. My kids play sports and these little bastards rushing to and from the cars in the parking lots before and after practices have been taught nothing. Doors-bags-bats-balls = digs not dingers.

If your tech is good and you are absolute blown away with their work and quality of the repair - OVER PAY THEM - This way when you call - the problems solved the next day and life goes on and your not given ridiculous quotes.
