Default DIY Dent Removal

Any suggestions on how to get a tiny dent out of my Scooby door skin? It appeared after the wife took it out (well, there's a surprise!!!) and parked up in a public car-park so I assume it was another car's door that did the damage. Thing is it's so small, that most people wouldn't notice it, so it just isn't worth getting a professional in. What's the best DIY way of pulling it out, or should I just see if a bodyshop will sort it for the price of a pint or 3? There's no creasing or paint damage, so I am sure it would be easy to sort.

Don't even try and do it yourself, as you can make an almighty mess.
Get your local PDR guy out to do it. Will cost less than 100 notes.

I agree with the lads, do not attempt to do this yourself as it will end up a mess, for the sake of £50 get a good pdr tech to do it.
