Wanna pull a small dent

I got hit in a parking lot and did a supurb job so far straightening it. It almost looks as is nothing happened but there is a ding left on the lower part of my quarter panel. I cant reach it from the back because it is on the bottom, right above the tire. It is about the size of a quarter. I would like to flatten it if possible and would like to avoid using filler. what is the proper way to fix this dent?

Re: Wanna pull a small dent

Take it to a paintless dent guy and let him do it. He might have to drill a hole inside your door jamb to get his tool back in there to smooth the metal back into place. Then he'll put a plastic plug into the door jamb once he's done. That's what they did on my car.

Go to your Lexus, Infiniti, Benz, etc. dealership and ask who they use to get the dings out of their used cars. The guy doing work for Mercedes is usually really good, that's how I found my ding guy.

Re: Wanna pull a small dent

hmm... that seems a little invasive, would it be better to do that or just fill it?

btw, how much would paintless dent removal cost on average of a small ding?

Re: Wanna pull a small dent

You could go to walgreens or walmart and buy the Ding King. It's a small tool for pulling dents. It worked on my cousins car, and if it doesn't work on yours, just return it. You won't be out anything.
