Dents

hi, i live in costa rica and this is my first post in the yarisworld forums but i've been a reader for about 2 months now.

i have a 2007 black yaris (pics and other info coming). a couple of days ago i was washing my car and saw a tiny dent in the driver's side door, i believe someone that parked next to me must have hit the door while opening theirs ( ).

anyway, my question is, does anyone know how to remove minor dents without having to buy a dent remover kit?

thanx

Do you guys have Paintless Dent Repair down there? Call your local Toyota dealer, and ask them.

Use a toilet thingy? :P

I've heard that puting an deinflated basket ball behind the dent and slowly inflating it does the trick (at least, with major dents).

The best way is bring your car to Paintless Dent Repair, they fix the tiny dent in 5 mins on my old car, and like a brand new quality. But they charge me for 60 canandian dollars, it is not cheap
