Dent Repair Recommendation?

My 2003 MCS/DS has a shopping cart ding about 2" down from the top of the right rear corner. The paint does not appear to be broken. The dealership said that their bodyshop can't get it out with PDR techniques, but I thought I'd get a second opinion. They said that there is no access there because of double metal thickness(?). I was wondering if there was anybody who practices paintless dent repair in San Francisco or San Mateo Co. that you guys could recommend for difficult jobs.

I have a guy that just did my dents yesterday....sweet job. Once hitch though, I live in Colorado. Lol.

Just make sure you price some guys out. Also, I went with a guy that came to my house....which was really nice.

RCE1,

Try this site. You can enter your zip code and they will give you a dealer in your area. I know there are several others around, but this will get you started. You can ask a car dealer as well. They use them all the time.

Hey, thanks for the resources. The dealership in San Francisco said that the PDR techniques wouldn't work in my case because of access issues in that area. That's why I was looking for someone with a lot of experience for a second opinion. Since it's so close to the tail light, I'd figured it wouldn't be that bad.

I've used them to repair my windshield three times.
They came to my work in San Jose.

Wanted some minor dings fixed but they wouldn't drive to Newark.
Work didn't want someone jacking the Mini up in the parking lot.
They offered to meet in a parking lot in their area but I didn't want to do that.

Great work on the windshield though which another rock hit and cracked.
Replaced today, Ahh I can see again.
