Is PDR recommended for this?

Hello everyone! This is my first post on the forums. I have been looking far and wide on Google and I stumbled upon this forum.

So I am currently in a dilemma, I am not sure on exactly how to go about this dent that is on my A-Pillar (see image). I was thinking about finding a PDR specialist for it, but then I also wanted to know if there are any other methods that are available today to repair a dent such as that. I am really looking to just save on cost.

I have already been quoted 170-200 dollars from various shops for a PDR. But I am very interested in a DIY method..

Let me know what you guys think!
Thanks in advance.

My wifes Elantra got the hell beat out of it during a hail storm last year and had several dents in the pillars. My PDR guy was able to get the whole car 100%, A Pillars included. I'm not sure if he went in from the inside, or glue pulled them, but they are gone nonetheless. Don't even attempt it yourself because you'll most likely just create more problems for the PDR guy.
 
It is pretty close to the edge but I've seen some pretty amazing work by some PDR guys and I'm sure they can do it.
 
dry ice? lol

no seriously dont try that


i would trust a pro. might end up causing more trouble for yourself.

I actually tried using a hair dryer to heat it up and a can of compressed air... Didn't work. The ding is probably just too small.
