You have days, not weeks. Perfect is not the goal here and we will not sell it to you.
Paintless dent repair, or PDR, needs no paint and no drying time, which is the entire reason this works on a deadline. Most everyday dents are finished in an hour or two, at your hotel, your office or wherever the car is sitting. Text two photos and you will know within minutes whether the timing works.
Then the only two questions that matter are whether we can reach it before you hand it back, and what it costs. Paintless needs no paint and no drying time, which is the whole reason this works on a deadline.
The repair taken as far as the metal allows. Every high spot tapped flat, the body line straightened, the panel read under a board until the reflection runs clean and unbroken from every angle.
Newer vehicles, leases, anything where resale is the point.
The dent comes out and the panel reads right in normal light. We stop short of chasing the last few percent that only a reflection board would ever find.
Older vehicles, daily drivers, and damage nobody is inspecting.
For your situation:Practical, almost certainly. Paying for Premium on a car going back this week is money you do not get back.
Or keep reading. The full reasoning is below.
Set the size, where it sits, and the metal. This is a range, not a quote. The real number comes from your photos and it comes back in minutes.
A small dent on a flat panel, in standard steel. Flat panel, standard steel, clean access. This is base price.
A range, not a final price. Text two photos and you get the real number, usually within minutes.
Nobody at a rental counter is reading the panel under a light board. They are walking around the car looking for something obvious. The goal is that there is nothing obvious to find, and that is a Practical paintless dent repair, not a Premium one.
We will quote you the top standard if you ask for it, and on your own car we often recommend it. On a rental going back in two days it is money you do not get back. We would rather tell you that and do the sensible version.
Send the photos early in the day. The honest limit is not how long the repair takes, it is whether a technician near you has a slot before you have to hand the keys back.
Set the size, where it sits, and the metal. A rental repair usually lands at the lower end of whatever this shows, because Practical is almost always the right call. Photos get you the real number in minutes.

Usually yes, and often the same day. Paintless dent repair needs no paint and no drying time, so a door ding is typically an hour or two and you drive away with it done. Text two photos and we will tell you straight away whether the timing works.
Most everyday dents are finished in an hour or two, and we come to you anywhere in San Diego County at no extra charge. The constraint is almost never the repair. It is finding a slot on the route, which is why the photo should come first and early in the day.
Almost never, and we will say so. Nobody at a rental counter is reading the panel under a light board. The goal is that the damage is gone as far as a normal walk-around is concerned, which is a Practical repair, not a Premium one. Paying for the top standard on a car you are handing back in two days is money you do not get back.
Often, but we are not going to pretend we know your agreement. What we can tell you is our number, in minutes, from two photos. Compare it against what your rental company or your card cover would charge you and decide from there. If ours is not the better answer we will tell you.
Done properly, no. The factory paint is untouched, nothing is filled and nothing is repainted, so there is no colour difference and no fresh paint to spot. A repainted panel is the thing that gets noticed, which is exactly why we do not repaint.
