Dent Removal shop recommendations?

I've got 2 dents on my driver's door - any recommendations of a place either North York or Miss or Bram that does good work at a good price? I think I got dents removed a while ago on another car at $50 for first dent and $25 for every subsequent dent.

I had this explained to me.
Every time your vehicle has a dent the metal moves from that area to another. Proper body shops usually work the metal back to that spot by hitting high spots and then add filler if need to get the proper finish. the problem with these quick dent places is that they do anything possible to get the dent out. A lot of the the metal is significantly weaker in that area as the work was not done properly.
To make it easy... metal gets hit, moves to another spot and has to be moved back by hitting high spots.
If the dent is really bad they pull it, but I dont think dent repair places touch those ones.

How was their work? I need dents popped out on my driver's side door and a little pinch ding on the rear driver's side too. Nightmare.

I was happy with the work. I had a big pushed in area of the metal in drivers door (maybe 4" roughly oddly shaped dent) not a small dent. It was pulled out as best as possible. It's now almost impossible to notice... I say "almost" is because if I look at it at a particular angle someone who was looking for it could tell but I wouldn't have known to look at it from that angle - the guy who fixed the dent pointed it out. I was happy with his honesty that it wasn't going to all come out back to 100% but would look good in the end which it did.

Thank you for responding. Approximately how much was the cost of repair for that alone? My damage happened little over a month after buying the car brand new. Parked at a Wal-Mart but miles away from any other cars in the dead of winter. I was so p!ssed when I found the dents. And then a guy at work dinged the passenger door on the driver's side.

I think it was $120-140 I can't recall exactly. It was one big area... I think if it's small dents they charge per dent... give em a call and ask they're pricing probably changed compared to when I got it done.

I know the guy who does the work for Tires23. He's good. I've sent a few of my detailing clients there before and they've been happy. I've also had some work done myself and had good results.
