My boyfriend backed up and hit a partking sign with my car. The dent is fairly small, but I want it out and I was wondering about how much would this kind of work cost.

If it is just a dent, you can contact either a dealership, body shop, or a dent repair center. I work at a dealership in the service department and to repair a small dent with no scratching is only $60. What adds to the cost is if the dent is large enough to cause paint damage or if there are scratches along with the dent. Painting costs more and is more involved because you have to blend the paint to match the original. This can cost $150 and up. I would just try some where and see what they would charge. If it is going to be more expensive you can always shop around.

Depends - where is this dent located (plastic bumper or metal door?), and what size bagel are you talking about? I've had dents in the (plastic) bumper covers of both my 2001 and 2004 Prius. Within a day, those dents have popped themselves back out. The hair dryer method could be used to help aid this along, but I just let nature take its course. Paint damage depended if something scraped the bumper to make the dent, or just pushed it in w/o a scratch. Dents in the metal are another story. Either learn to live with it (badge of courage), or ask friends/neighbors/co-workers for suggestions of an auto-body/dent repair shop in the area that they suggest (or even join something like Angie's List for suggestions). You may want to also look into installing some door ding guards/body side molding to prevent future parking lot attacks.

Get in touch with someone like a "Dent Wizard." These people are great and can remove small dents usually in your own driveway or parking lot at work. I had a small dent removed recently from my front fender, and it cost me $150. Search on the web for these types of services... "Dent Wizard, Dent Doctor." I live in the NorthEast, and I know this type of service is available here.

I dont have a direct answer, BUT
If you can get to the other side of the dent, put a cloth on the car, take a hammer and try to correct it with LIGHT hits.
Dont forget the cloth and DONT HIT HARD, or your paint will chip
