How to fix "DING" on door?

Hi! My driver's door got "DING" in school parking lot today! Although that wasn't a serious hit, I can see the "crater" from a distance! The min price for fixing that would cost like $100! Does anyone know the easy way to fix that? Is it possible to fix it by pulling out the door armrest thing and press the spot out from the inside?
Please advice!!!
Thanks!

we have Dent Busters by us that would fix something like that for $30 or $40 and you couldn't tell the difference. The only time they can't fix it is if the metal has been stretched around something like the bar that runs along the door skin, otherwise it is easily repairable.

$30 to $40 sound better for me. All I need to do is to find the shop and get it fixed! Dent Buster....

Have you actually used the product yourself? Someone on this site has used it, and has said it has worked as well. It is only one opinion though, so I'm waiting for more before I get one for myself.

For someone who parks next to me is lucky. I always put my hand at the edge of the my door to avoid any "metal-to-metal" contact with other cars, plus my dealer includes door guards (as seen in the pic) on all new Hondas! That actually pretty useful. However, those can't avoid someone with fat @$$ slamming his/her door at my babe!!! Thank you all for sharing your experiences and advises on dent repair. I will propably bring her to the dealership on weekend and do an estimate. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
