Many Hilux owners prefer to fix minor dents themselves using these methods:

Suction Cup Dent Pullers: Creates a vacuum to pull out minor dents works best on smooth surfaces.
Hot Water & Plunger Method: Pour hot water over the dent and use a plunger to pop it out effective for plastic bumpers.
Hair Dryer & Compressed Air: Heat expands the metal, and sudden cooling contracts it, popping out small dents.
Paintless Dent Repair PDR Kits: Special tools used to massage dents from the inside panel.

These methods work well for small, shallow dents but may not be effective for deep creases o r sharp dings.
