How to fix dents

i have 2 dents, one in my door, and one on the front fender from when i got in a accedent, it seems like a real big chore to take it apart and fix it, i heard about places that have big suction cup things that just pop em out, does that work well, about how much is it?

Not really... There's places that could 'massage' the dent out without re-paint or touch up, but thats a little pricy.

Dent Wizard is a chain that does this. They charge about $50-100 to remove dents, depending on the severity of the dent and the the attitude of the tech at the time. It works great and you probably won't tell where the dent was without a special light angle. It'll be cheaper than pulling the dent, adding filler and repainting the panel!

What about if something has not only dented, but slid along the door so that it has taken off paint and made a dent, would that be filling and painting?
