Stupid friend dented my car, ahhh

I am driving my G down my friends wooded driveway, he comes out drunk and ran into the rear quarter panel in my G. His hands hit the car in "hands on the hood" position right above the right rear wheel and by the door handle. Leaving two vertical crease shapped dents in the panel. He said he would pay to get it fixed, how much do you expect this would cost to get them popped out, can they be popped out? The paint is still fine so I want to use a company like dent wizard. Any suggestions?

If it is a crease, im not so sure PDR will be able to fix it. No idea though. Just seems a crease is different than a dent.

When someone backed into my civic they did basically the same thing, only at the front right quart panel, they were able to get it out. My only concern is how they would access the back of the panel to hit these two out.

I went to a dent wizard for a creased dent in my passenger side door. They popped it right out in 10 minutes and you can't even tell it was there. It never hurts to ask. Go find a dent wizard and see what they say.

Sorry to hear of your little 'mishap'. I'm sure your friend feels very badly about it and will be willing to fix her up for you.

for the rear quarter panels they will drill a hole on the side from the inside of the door.
then they will reach in and tap it out. and they'll just plug it when done.

I seriously doubt they will need to drill for the area you are describing... If they want to, suggest going through the trunk area first... A plug is better than a dent, but no dent and no plug is even better... If it is necessary to drill, you can have a plug put on the other side as well... It really does give the appearance of an OEM plug...

Wait, so did he physically run into it with his hands? Or was it something he was driving?

If it was his hands, then you should tell him "if you ever lay your hands on my woman again..." lol

He ran into the car with his hands, both hands hit the car above the rear tire. I called up my dealer and they said they have a PDR service so hopefully they'll take car of it.

One crease should be just under $100 from dent wizard. It's amazing what they can do. I had a bizarre crease in my last gen3 dakota. Took the door panel off to massage it out but the crease ended up being right on the reinforced crossmember welded on the inside of the door. Not sure how dent wizard got it out, but it was flawless for years (until I traded her in on the G).
