There is a paintless dent removal process. I am sure most body shops do it, just call around. From what I have seen the price depends on the size of the dent, maybe around $100 to fix.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had mine for 18+ months, and still notice even the smallest stuff. But if sounds like it shouldn't be a problem for a good PDR guy.

Find a pdr guy in your area. It sounds like no problem and around $100. the finished product should be perfect with no overpushes that they say need to be wet sanded. A couple tips. just because a dent guy works at dealer doesn't mean he is any good, it means he is the cheapest. A good indicator is if he is VALE certified. Other certifications mean nothing. If they are not VAle certified doesn't mean they are not good, but it is a good idicator. Just because they are on an insurance companies list doesn't mean they are any good, just cheap. Ask if they are a member of the NAPDRT. If you would like you can pM your contact info and I will try to find someone through the guys I network with.

I had a car that looked like a golf ball after a hail storm and after a good pdr guy got done with it, you couldn't tell where the damage had been.
