The Honda dealer where I've worked for the past 28 years frequently uses the services of the"Dent Wizard" or "Dent Doctor" or someother generic dent service name. What a good technician can do is really amazing. I've seen them "remove" awful dents from trade-ins, that once they've finished working the metal, you'd never know the metal was dented. There are a few instances where problems can arise or fixes aren't readily accomplished. For instance, if the paint is really old(like on my 914), the dent technicians caution that popping a dent out could cause the paint to break off the metal surface, Also, sharp body creases and character lines(trunk edges, wheel well openings, crisp fender transitions) can be troublesome

Cost typically runs $75-120 per car unless the vehicle is really dinged up badly or requires an inordinate amount of work. I've seen heavily damaged hail storm victims made 98% right for $400-500. That would certainly be my inclination rather than work the car down to metal and respray, losing the factory paint/finish.
