The dent was easily 6" high by maybe 4" wide, which I had assumed
was much too large for DentPro-type operations. I'd heard that
they could generally only pull dents about the size of a quarter.
When I went to a body shop to get an estimate, they told me that
I needed an appointment first -- yes, an appointment to get an
estimate! -- but as I was walking out, the front-desk person
mentioned that I might want to talk to the guy in the parking lot
with the white truck. It turned out to be Brad. He took one
look at my large dent and correctly concluded that he could pop
out the panel and treat the resulting small dents as if they were
door dings. That's what comes from experience, I guess!
By the way, Brad quoted me $125 to fix just that dent. Doing
additional work on the same panel is only about $35 more, so I
asked him to give me a quote on doing the whole car: the big dent
in the rear quarter panel, a small dent on the same panel near
the passenger door, a standard parking-lot door ding on the
driver's side, a rock ding on the hood, and another tiny rock
ding on the front fender. He said he'd do them all for $200. I
couldn't refuse. :)
