Aye, those should be able to be gotten out pretty easily long as they can reach behind it.

Most issues come from when the dent is on a crease line or where two angles are met on a truck.

I'm sure each case is different. But the dent on my previous truck was way bigger then the two of yours. I kept that truck for about 3 more years after having it fixed and never had any problems with the paint tearing at that spot.

Car dealers have this stuff done all the time on new cars, used cars. It works for small dings like a charm. I was at a dealership one time getting my oil changed and ended up talking to a guy that was there doing it. I thought it was funny about him fixing a dent on a car that a customer was on the way to take delivery of and the customer having NO clue his new car was dented in two spots. And you know he never was told!

Best thing to do is honestly call them out or take it to them to see if they can fix your dents. I personally think they can with no problems.

I would recommend hiring somebody to do it. They will come at it from behind the panel and literally push it out.

With the pop a dent thing, ( from the one's Ive seen ) it uses suction on the dent itself to pull out and that puts stress on where the arms or legs for it is. If you want it flawless looking, pay somebody to do it whose done it before. It's not terribly expensive....

The Ding King tools which are available at Pep Boys and other auto parts stores o a pretty good job. Someone had put a nasty dent on the fender of my wife's 03 Explorer. It took sever attempts with the tool but after I was done you could not tell. I also have a five or six inch aluminum suction cup from Harbor freight whcih works wonders at removing dimple dents. The idea is to attempt a repair as soon as possible. If the ent sits too long the crysaline in the steel becomes used to the shape of the dent and will pop back in easily.
