Default Paint and Dent Repair

Anyone know much about small dent repair done by the paintless repair methods at some shops? Good... Bad?

I have about 6 small dents on some body panels and the tail gate from a previous owner that I want fixed and found you can do paintless repair to get them pulled/pushed out.

Also, I have some road tar on the paint that was slung up from the wheels, any tips on removing this stuff?

After this is all done I plan on using a clay bar and cleaning it all up really good.

Thanks.

Dents no bigger than golfball size as long as there are no creases will run up to $50 per dent depending on location. Most dents are like $25 but if the guys needs to get in behind a few panels then it will be a little more.

Bug&Tar ramover will take road tar off. Comes in an aerosol spray can or small bottle as liquid. Apply and let set for a little while. Then re apply and rub off. May take some elbow grease.

Claybar is lke buffing as it removes superficaial scratchies by lightly sanding the clearcoat. When done properly it can yield excellent results.

Thanks for the info. I was worried about getting dents removed this way if it was bad for the paint after etc.
