Some asswipe decided to swing their car door open with such force it put a nice dent in my 02 Superduty. It  is not very big, just annoying. Has anybody ever had any experiences with those places that do Paintless Dent Repair?
Looking for pro's and con's.

Had it done to my truck. Took out 99% of the dent. Cost about $25.

I had a friend who  used Dent  Genie and to this day I can't tell where it was in his door....

Can't promise it will work for your dent, but I had a dent that absolutely cannot be seen at all and I have pictures of where it was. No shadow, no nothing. Absolutely perfect.

Take it and have it looked at.

They did a PERFECT job on my dent.  Not on my car but the top tube of my Cannondale bicycle.  Cannondales use oversize, thin wall aluminum tubing which can dent easily.  

The paint is PERFECT and since aluminum has a higher thermal expansion coefficient, it works even better.

You cannot go wrong with trying.  I would recommend AGAINST using the DIY kit that requires gluing a pull pad on the surface.  These will frequently peel paint unless it is a very minor dent.

I have used the local place several times and nobody could ever tell, even when i was doing the car shows. I had just had a couple dings taken out of my passenger door and scored a 9.5 on paint in a show the nex day.
