Some of the stuff they can remove is just insane!
I had a dent removed on my 2011 and it was right on a body line above the wheel well. They made it like it never happened. It's the aluminum that has me a bit worried.

I just got my first dent on the passenger door. Went to Mister Dent PDR in Dania Florida. Awesome work and dent is completely gone. They did say working the aluminum was more difficult but the result was still perfect.

Right, nothing new about aluminum car panels.

My friend called me today to tell me the guy couldn't fix it. Apparently there is a support running through the tailgate that blocks him from getting access to the back side of the dent. At least it's a little dent, not the end of the world.

I got a ~4 inch long linear dent in my door recently. What do these places charge for this kind of stuff?

I got a big scratch in the plastic trim below the headlight 1 month after buying it. Really pissed me off but a coworker proudly said "he got his first battle scar, now it's starting to look like a truck".

Most PDR pros would use pull tabs in that case.

My truck has several "desert pinstriping" marks/scratches which I'm okay with - those are adventure reminders. Some jackhole leaving a dent in the side of my truck in a parking lot because he couldn't squeeze the whole cart into his minivan not so much.
