To echo others, it really us amazing what the various dent removal people can do (and often for £75 or less)
I’d ask your dealership who they use.......but book direct if you can get his name otherwise the dealership might take their %%!
Even though the dent you show is right on the crease it should be possible to show a big improvement - best of luck
Dent in my door :(

If the paintwork is intact ideally you want a pdr done.
Just look at what they can do on YouTube if you have never seen them do thier work in person.
It’s amazing what they can do even on the creases.
The problem you have is the dent is not very big which makes thier job much harder.
Alternatives will be smart repair fill and even though I have had one done many years ago which was brilliant I would avoid it if possible.
Anything to keep the original paintwork is best.
Good luck and hope it works out fine for you.

I had a scaffolder swing a pole into the crease line of the wheel arch on a Golf GTI. Horrible dimple. Paintless dent removal cost me £80 and got a perfect result. The VW bodyshop wanted £1200 and were talking about filler for a similar bit of damage to yours!
Did an excellent job and I would say it's worth travelling to have someone highly recommended do it.

Good Point Paul,
I did that with my SLK, took it to the dealers on the day they did their visit, but paid them direct.

So annoying and upsetting,had a bit of damage done to the paintwork on my GTS by unknown,had it done at the Porsche Approved workshop and the result was perfect,yours looks like a nasty little ding probably from some kind person who couldn’t care less,if the paintwork is damaged then it’s a different repair than just removing a dent depend on which way you want to go but I’d have to have it repaired so that it was invisible after.

That's so annoying, especially when you make every effort to avoid these f******. I hope you find someone who can get it out.

If they do sort it, then all well and good. I did not have GardX plan thingy, so if it works it's well worth it. I had almost exactly the same 'injury' gained in a Waitrose car park (can you believe it!!). OPC would have charged me £1200, I got it done for £550. Perfect job. I am also comp[letely paranoid in car parks, especiall Waitrose ones where the clients simply do not care!
