Approx cost of using Dent Wizard or similar?

[blue_goose]

Was changing the oil on my HHR last weekend and a huge icicle let go and fell on my hood while it was raised. So it didn't take the full force of the blow but it left about 5 small indentations or creases smaller than a penny or nickle on the hood. Looks like hail damage almost for a good description.

First is something like this repairable with Paintless dent repair and if so what am I looking at for an aprox cost?

It really depends on the shop. My MS3 had a dent on the right rear fender approximately the size of a ping pong ball. The local Dent Wizard wanted to drill a hole to access the dent and claimed that they could only remove 85% of the dent at best. I went to Dent Doctor and they fixed the dent without any drilling and the repair is virtually unnoticeable.
Total cost: $150.
For what it's worth, my local body shop wanted $450 to fix the dent using conventional methods.

I had Flex a dent do three small ones on my WS6, door dings in the rear fender. They drilled a little hole in the door jamb and sealed it up when complete. The repair can not be noticed. The local body shop wanted 1200 dollars to fix it. I was out the door in 45 mins for 150 bucks.

A few years ago it was like 125 per dent, excellent results

Worked good on a co worker's Vue.

If you grab the guy when he's out on another job, like the mobile service that comes to my dealer, he might do it for $50-60 if it's easily accessible. More interior panels that have to be removed, the more they have to charge.

It does work great and is the FIRST choice over painting. My body guy does both, so I can get which service is best.

Little dings are in the hood....so hopefully no drills needed? Wondering even worth doing it on a car with 98K on it now...but if cheap enough I'd get it done. So they have to be able to access it from both sides correct? Should be easy on a hood since only a liner under the hood. Hope it isnt 125 a ding though...I'll see if I can get a pic...car filthy now and hard to see them lol


Thanks
