Any tips on repairing small dents?
Someone gave me a little gift a while back. A small dent just under the fuel door. It annoys me. Any suggestions?

looks like you can get behind it pretty easy, most auto parts stores sell a pretty usefull dent kit, that works well.
A magnet or even suction might be enough to pop it out. I used to date this chick that could...................well, try the auto parts store...

No not too small, but LEAVE IT TO PRO's that do it all day long. they get in behind and work the dent out without cracking your paint or stretching the metal. th heardest part of getting a dent out is to not stretch the metal anymore than what it aready is. That means going too far out and then there's no going back.
If the dent is easy like below the fuel door, that dent is likely a $50 fix or cheaper since there are no panels to remove.
They have special tools that we don't have.
