Grand Am vs Isuzu Rodeo

[Branderson]

I had a little parking mishap with an Isuzu Rodeo, needless to say the angle which i hit his bumper put a nice dent in the left rear quarter panel of my car leaving just a scratch on the Rodeo. My dad and I went into the trunk and gave it a quick push out. The metal was creased and it is stretched a little bit so if you knock on the side it will pop back in. Anyway since I really havent tried much what can i do to get the smaller dents out and smoothing out the body besides taking it to a body shop?:???:

Theres lots of places around that deal only with dents, where thay pop them out for 1/2 or even 1/4 the price of what a body shop would charge to fill, sand, prime, and paint.
A friend on his bike one night was backing out and fell in to my car leaving a hudge body impression in my quarter panel.
Body shop quoted over $1000 to fix it. The dent clinic poped it out for $100. it left a few very minor wrinkles, But you couldint tell unless you were looking for it.

Sorry 2 say but if it's creased, it'll take some bodywork to correct the prob.:(

Depending, if it's badly creased, then you'd need to probably replace te panel, however, if it's just dented you can look fora place that does Painless/Paintless dent repair. before you go, ask to look at some of the cars they've worked on... these places can soemtimes be awesome, and other times be really low-rent.

A crease is a crease. Creases can't be pulled w/out further bodywork. Also, if the metal's stretched, it will also take more than some guy w/ a suction cup.
