First ding

I didn't see any headings for this so I started a new one... hope that's ok. I got my first ding on my driverside passenger door... Didn't go through the paint though. Any advice on repair that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Thanks.

Take it by a local PDR place, they should be able to take care of it. The only stipulation with PDR is the ding can't be too close to the edge of a panel. Other than that it's safe, easy, and not too expensive.

I just got my first ding fixed at a local Dent Pro this am. I had a nice 1 inch door ding on my right front fender and they fixed it in 20 minutes for $89. My e90 is Jet Black and I had to look hard to find where the dent was after the fix, I'm happy with the results.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just did a quick search for DentWizard locations on their website... and it seems that all their locations are in dealerships... (coincidence?) anyway, I'm in Seattle, Washington, any locals know of good PDR places?

Dent Wizard is a chain, there are at least two independent Dent Wizard retain stores around here that I'm aware of, but they often use space at dealers. If it's Dent Wizard doing the actual work, I wouldn't worry about bringing it to them. Chances are, they're renting space from the dealer or have some other arrangement with them.

I've used the Dent Wizard near me a handful of times over the years (not yet on this car, knock on wood) and the results have been excellent each time.
