Received a small dent in a rental car the other day. Rental place gave me a shop for paintless dent removal. Most small dings and some dents can be removed without paint work. As long as the paint is not damaged. Most of us enjoy older vehicles and they do get little dings and even dents, so its good these shops exist. Most are very speedy as well as reasonable cost. My dent fairly large was $170 CDN and two hours wait.
