dent on my side door
Hello guys, i have several dents on my side doors and they are very noticeable when in the sun or even looking at it at a angle. What do you guys recommend I do? Some of them actually scratched the paint because ppl dont know how to open their doors properly.

PDR is probably your best bet at first. Then touch up door if dings are repairable. If PDR does not work. Replace door...

PDR is the way to go. I had a pretty substantial dent in my passenger door from when someone doored me a few months ago. I spoke with a local Subaru/Ford/BMW dealer with its own body shop and they said they have a traveling PDR guy that comes in once in a while to do some work out of his truck at their shop.
The guy took a look at it, said it would be $100, and about an hour later the dent was erased. He used a blow torch to carefully heat up the panel and used a couple thin metal rods slid between the window and the panel to push out the dent from the inside of the door. He then buffed out the scratches in the clearcoat (fortunately the scratches didn't go deeper than that) and even touched up a small scratch on the other door. Call a couple local body shops and see if they can do PDR or can get ahold of someone who can.
