I worked for a summer for a guy who did bumper repairs and we used another guy who would come out and fix minor dents before the dealership sold them.

It works well but it's a lot really on where the dent it and how deep. Where are your dents located and any pics? They can repair most then you would think with it and it doesn't look flawless when done but it would take a trained eye to see it. Most folks, even car / truck people wouldn't notice if done right much less a normal person....

If taking his advice, just be aware he only knows two ways to fix stuff. The Bad One and the Russian one. They go hand in hand......

Sometimes they drill small holes inside the door frame to access the dent. Other then that, it works pretty good depending on the dent. Small dings and such are not a problem.

I had a softball smash the side of a truck I use to own before I had my 150 and they took the dent right out. The normal I couldn't see it.

Alright i'll only post the Russian way then Sometimes to fix small door dents we inflate an inner tube inside of a door to gently push the door surface back.
