Dent removal

Ok, heres the problem, I have a small dent close to the hatchback that I've been meaning to get fixed up. Would anyone know how great the damage is, how much I should expect to pay, and if it's possible to remove the dent without altering the paint? I was also wondering if anyone knows a good person who can do this in my area: Norwich, CT 06360. This would be a great one for scottmoyer to answer if he sees this. Thanks to all.

From what I can see wiht the pics your showing it has been creased somewhat where the panel rolls down to the quater, if so, then it can't be removed by paintless dent repair no. Is the paint cracked or chipped even in the smallest degree?

The paint is fine. No swirls, cracks or chips. The dent was there when I bought the car and is the only noticable imperfection to the car.

Creases can be fixed by pdr!! That dent is really doable.

Look in the phone book for PDR in the auto repair section. Do not select Dent Wizard!! They will not do the quality work you want.
