Can PDR fix this issue
I'm looking a a car that has original paint and the rear pass quarter panel has a small dent right at the body crease and also on a wheel open. I've got two pics attached. The first pic looks like the worst and the send may be repairable. Is this fixable by a good PDR guy or must this be repaired in a body shop? The car is a volvo 850 wagon. Do to the age of the paint, I won't be able to match the paint with a body shop repair so I'm trying to get opinions on PDR for this repair. I had a similar area repaired on my sons first car (another Volvo 850) and the guy was only in the PDR business for one year. He improved it but it really wasn't a great repair. This seems to be a complex area to repair. Thanks for any suggestions on this question.
(FYI, I'm in ester PA so any really good PDR guys would be a great. Thanks folks.)

If the PDR person can get behind it then it can probably be straightened out. Might be expensive. That top picture...the dent is on a tough line.

Had one similar on a crease and my PDR guy said no go and he's been doing this for over 10 years.

The crease is why they will not be able to do it.

Also had one similar, not in a corner though but the same crease. My PDR guy got most of it out, but it's still noticeable under some light.

The crease looks do-able. The one on the wheel opening is a little tight. If it's double metal there, might glue pull. Depends on techs skills.

Re: Can PDR fix this issue
I was looking at this post, and asked my PDR associate and he said it can be done.
First pic, 90 to 95%, second pic close to 100%.
As long as there is access for the tools to be inserted behind the panels; when there isn't access, he drills a small hole behind for accessing it, and then covers it with a round black plastic cover.
Suction cup won't do it. And glue pull only for the finishing, after most of it was straightened out.
I always tell him he'd be well off if he lived in US. Pretty talented guy. He doesn't speak english, though

Those are body lines and that's what gives the panel strength a good patient pdr guy will diminish it so slightly to the naked eye,but expect to pay .
