    Can this be fixed with paintless dent removal?

    Somebody backed up to my car. Can this be fixed using paintless dent repair or need a body shop? I'm so sad.

    I don't think so as it's way too close to the edge/crease.

    I had mine right on a body line on the passenger door. Was told that any PDR work would look worse than the dent. Found a guy that has been doing it a long time and he said no problem. Yours is right at the edge of a panel, but I would definitely recommend checking around. Check your local dealership, they often outsource this kind of work. Bodyshops may or may not help. If they don't do the PDR in house, then you may be paying for the PDR guy, and their commission for bringing the work.

    It's definitely possible if you have someone who knows what they're doing. The PDR guy that does work for me at my shop has done a dent very similar to that before and needed some special tools to reach it and we had to take off the rear cover for him, but in the end you could never tell it was worked on. I'm in NY but will ask hi, if he knows anyone good down in your area

    ^That. The leading edge was not disturbed. I've have PDR correct worse, actually.
