Ok I got my 98 (new for me :)) crv 2 nights ago, I'm not sure if this happened before I owned it or in the last day. Anyway directly above the rear driver's side wheel well there is a dent about 2 cm to an inch or so obviously caused by a door, probably a child opening his next to me or something. Anyway what can I do? Can it be fixed ? Cost ? Thanks guys.

paintless dent removal but not worth it if it's only one dent

when tell you ha vea bunch on a panel and then have em all removed at the same time for about the same cost

Billy Mayes has a dent remover out now:)

That won't work but it would probably cost a couple hundred bones at a body shop.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless you have to have it perfect. I have one perfect car and one car that I give a sh!t less about. The perfect car has drained me.

It's gonna cost you $100 to fix a dent if you take it to the shop, not worth it.

Its on because of my mum, its like the nicest thing she has ever owned and it was such a nice thing to get perfect. Its really not noticable, so I guess its not worth it. I'll take some pics tomorrow and see what you guys think, thanks so far though.

My uncle tried one of those when someone put a nice dent in his camaro. It didn't 100% remove it, but it looks MUCH better, and he said it was real quick & easy to use. Might want to give it a shot....

that's one of those "so obvious you don't see it" kind of ideas. it would be a lot better if car doors went up... although i guess it might be more dangerous for when you get in a crash (harder to get the doors open).

they quoted me about $550 for 2 dents. easy to get the dent fixed but paint job and labor is gonna cost you. I didnt get the job done cuz its way too much money for $550.

what i like in that commercial is that when they remove one dent, you can see it has created 2 new dents :)

Wait till a few more wrinkles and dents show up before you spend the money..by then you may be used to looking at em and won't care. I whish they would make a non gloss slightly textured auto finish that doesn't show the minor dings and scratches.
