How can I get a dent out of my truck?
I accidentally got a dent in my truck yesterday and I want to fix it as soon as possible. However, I don’t have enough money to pay the thousands of dollars it would cost to repair at a body shop. How can I get the dent out of my truck myself?

Oh no! Nothing is as disappointing as getting a dent in your vehicle, particularly if you’re not equipped with the funds to repair it.
- Use the plunger suction method to get rid of a dent with a few pulls on the impacted area
- Pourboiling water over the dent and push the plastic back to its original contour using your other hand
- Rub dry ice on the dent to pop it back on its own
- Heat the dented area with a hair dryer to contract the plastic back to its original shape
- Invest in a speciality tool kit that’s specifically created to get dents out vehicles, with step-by-step instructions and tools
If one of the above methods fails to repair your dent, you can try your hand at another until the dent is fixed.
