fender bender

My old 5-series got into a minor fender bender yesterday evening, don't have a picture handy at the moment, but the passenger front fender is dented-in from the side impact w/o the paint damage.

I've used paintless dent removal previously on dings and etc, but wonder if the paintless dent removal guys can do the magic on this kindda dent. I know it's hard to tell w/o the picture.

I've only used dentwizard, but please feel free to chime in if you know anyone else.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks John,

I stopped by your shop yesterday afternoon while I was in the area, (don't remember the name of gent who I talked to) but was informed that my fender is too big of dent to be repaired by 'painless dent removal' method, especially the dent is along the body line, which could cause the paint to crack while push/pull the dent, totally understandable.

Would definitely fix it if it was my Porsche but probably not worth the time & money to fix this 11yrs old BMW.

The following clips definitely inspired & gave me the idea of using the paintless dent removal, where these guys fixed the dents along the body lines w/o problem;
