I have a dent on the lower part of the back door on my Tundra. Im trying to find a good place in the southern Orange County area to go to get it repaired.... toyota of irvine sent me to Premier Collision Center off of Tesla in Irvine. They quoted me $977 to fix it. It has some Kinks on it which they would have to pound out and repaint the area
Im just trying to find a spot that you all might know of which may be cheaper and just as good.

i didnt care about it, until i decided to sell it... it may make a difference in the selling price. i may cut a hole on the inside(size of a fist) pop it out make it look mostly normal... then patch the hole. no one will ever know lol, unless they go to change the speakers

You can buy a large and pretty cheap suction cup and pull it out. It will get most of the dent out but not creases. I know you can get cheaper ones from Harbor Frieght that work okay, and better quality ones from body shop supply places. If you do cut the hole from behind and push it out you can also use a dolly and smooth out the crease, the paint is probable all ready cracked so after you use a hammer and dolly you can just touch up the paint. Again you can get hammer and dolly kits from the same places as above.

Have you called any of those mobile dent guys? My brother's GF had a similar dent in her tundra and a mobile guy did a pretty good job getting it out and for pretty cheap.
