Pricing Factors & Considerations
Price varies depending on the severity of damage, diameter of the dent, accessibility behind panels, and metal alloy:
When rear access is restricted and specialized exterior glue-pulling is required.
Dents located directly on sharp body character lines requiring precision reshaping.
Aluminum or High Strength Steel panels have less metal memory and require specialized tools.

We gain access behind the damaged panel via trim, liners, or specialized windows.
Read
