I have a Chev truck that had a $5000 estimate written on it for hail damage......to just the hood and roof. We took it to a "paintless dent repair" place and they took the dents COMPLETELY out for $400. They did an exceptional job. Many body shops also do this type of dent repair.....they glue little "posts" in the center of the dent and use a tool to pull the dent out. The glue that holds the post on is then removed and the panel buffed. Quick, cheap, and you dont have to get to the rear of the panel.

By the way, I tried using the heat and dry ice method, it worked only marginally.
