    I am the new owner of someone's carelessness in the form of a 3" or so sharp dent in my driver side front fender. Anyone have any connections or know of any deals to get this fixed? Please let me know as it is very ugly and needs to be fixed. I dont want to do insurance because $500 deductible.

    That looks more like a Knee or other rounded object.

    I don't think PDR can get into that area.

    Slap some Bondo on and rattle can it.

    Front fender they can, just have to unclip the fender liner. Had a deer strike that left a softy in the same area on a Forester, PDR wasn't an issue.

    PDR and touchup paint until some one else wants to buy a new fender and paint later on or after eating a snowbank.

    Of course they had to do it right in the middle of a body line :facepalm:. If you don't need it done right away I'll be taking side work again after the 1st and I'll give you a deal on fixing it the conventional way (i.e not PDR) and doing a small blend on the paint.
