Mobile Dent Remover?

Well I got my first dent

. The dent is in the rear bumper. Would one of those mobile dent remover companies be able to remove this? I have doubts because of how much heavier a truck bumper is over a car. It's not going to just pop out.

SHould I remove the bumper and take a 2X4 to it with a hammer? The chrome just seems to draw attention to it

THanks. I got the dent from backing into a family member's mid late 80's Ford F150. Not a mark on the Ford, lol. Perhaps metal just isn't what it used to be.

Paintless dent repairs will not work on a chrome bumper. You need a new bumper.

Joshp, I have a dent in my bumper as well and most places I have gone to say no to the chrome bumper. There is a dent pro on Winchester that said they could get it out. It would not be 100% like new but it would be a lot less noticeable. The guy told me if he could not get the $89 dent out he would not charge me but have not been back due to major lack of time. The location is between Campbell Ave. and Bud on S. Winchester Blvd.

Awesome! Thanks I'll have to check that place out.
