Only had it for 2 weeks and someone put a dent in it.

Recently walked out to my car, found a quarter sized door ding on the back passenger quarter.

Anyone know of a good PDR place that will repair this at a reasonable cost?

That's too bad.
I got mine fixed at Mirage PDR.
They're mobile. So, you won't find anything when you go to the address on their web site.
Email him the pictures and he will give you a quote.
I got a fist size dent on the roof from a dropping fruit.
I can't see where the dent used to be no matter how hard I try to look.

Any idea on what I might be looking at in cost? It looks like someone slammed their car door into my car. It left a Nickel/Quarter sized ding above the back passenger wheel well.

I called Auto Trim and they gave me some bogus 250$ quote, I recently arrived here in Hawaii and I know everything is more expensive, but damn. This would cost 40-50$ back home to get fixed.

Has anyone had success with the PDR kits? I've heard mixed reviews on them, some work others are not worth the plastic they are made of.

If you can get some friends together and tell them that you're all gonna get something fixed, they will usually drop the price. It's expensive if they gotta come out just to fix one, but if they have guaranteed business for a few cars, they'll usually cut you a break.

There is a general guide for pricing on the web site I linked.
http://www.miragepdr.com/pricing/
But to get a more accurate quote, you should send description and pictures to miragepdr@earthlink.net.
I'm sure it will be less than $250.

I ended up going to Dent Doctors and got a quote from them at 125.00$, so far it's the best quote. They said they would have to drill a hole to pop it out, oh well.. guess this is the cost of owning a new car here.

Let us know how it goes. I guess there's no access to behind the panel there?
People suck, someone put a dent from their door in my passenger side, and someone else scraped my driver rear bumper.
The passenger rear bumper one was my doing, dang wide rear and no visibility with these newfangled cars! That's the one thing about having a new car, you notice these things. All my other cars I didn't notice dents. Heck, the Cruiser I dare anyone to put a door ding in it!

I feel both your pains. Came out from a grocery store and found 3 dimple spots on my passenger side door from a cart that was rammed into the side of my car. And I know it wasn't by accident, it just blows my mind how people can be such @$$h0le$!

Yeah, my door got dented a few weeks back from someone hitting it too - I just got it repaired under DentArmor by the Mirage guys. Sadly, my dent also involved the paint being scraped off so now I have to try and touch that up >_<
