"PDR" Paintless Dent Repair
http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=434597

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck / good results using this procedure and how much does it cost roughly, is it cost affective for the results it gives etc.,

 I've tried calling the only place locally that does it but have had no answer as no one seems to answer the phone. As this Omega im interested in has a rather big dent passenger rear light side just below the light on the curved part and a ding type dent on the passengers side front wing fairly small but very noticeable.

 I don't fancy doing body work on my next Omega purchase if I can help it but I heard of this "PDR" method as the dents are curved you could say with no paint damage nor any rust so they should in theory come out.

 Any advice would be appreciated..

I used a local, independent company and was highly impressed. They did my car and her car, several little dings and scratches. Was here for 5+ hours and they were spotless... Cost me £300

I presume £300 was for both cars ?
I couldn't justify more than £100 for two dents myself but knowing these garages they don't get of their behind for ££££ so and so much

Oh yeah... £300 was both cars and included paintwork too

Yep, very good results on various things .

Depending on the severity and sharpness of the dent, I can definitely vouch for it being worthwhile with truly remarkable results. 

I'm very lucky there though, as my son does it for a living.

Seem to remember Countess Dundee had someone fettle his silver machine some time ago and he was very pleased with the results. Like anything it all depends on the skill of the guy doing it I suppose.

So do I but you can rarely get them anywhere that you need them, actually they are pretty much unused.....

The one on the wing would be difficult but the rear dent has potential for a hammer . I've managed to get through to the chap I've been recommended from a fried who does car respraying and comes highly recommended and cost wise starting from £45 can even come to where you live (locally) .

I tried once. Thought "how hard can it be" ? I soon found it,its much harder than it looks. Had to buy a new wing for the car.
