Aluminum doors, steel bed. The panel decides the job.
Chevrolet took a different route from Ford. On the current Silverado the doors, the hood and the tailgate are aluminum while the bedsides and the roof stay steel, so two dents on the same truck can be two genuinely different repairs. That is the thing worth knowing before anyone quotes you.

Aluminum doors, hood and tailgate over steel bedsides and roof. A door dent needs heat and patience. A bedside dent has steel memory helping it back. Same truck, two clocks.
Like most modern pickups the bed is double walled, so nothing reaches the back of the outer skin. That panel is glue pulled from the outside in stages, which is slower but is the correct method rather than a compromise.
Loading, leaning, towing and reversing all land on the same panel. It is also the easiest panel on the truck to photograph well, so a tailgate quote is usually the fastest one we turn around.
If it is a truck that works for a living, the practical standard often makes more sense than the full correction. We will tell you when that is the case rather than quoting the expensive version by default.

Absolutely great experience. The people are friendly and so helpful. They also did an amazing job. This dent showed up after someone hit my parked car and it had been bugging me for months but now you would not even be able to tell it was ever there. They were fast, accommodating and diligent.
The team provided a fast and reasonable quote for the work I wanted to get done. On the day of the appointment, they greeted me kindly and gave me a timeframe for the job. The final result turned out great and the small dent is now gone.

Both. On the current truck the doors, hood and tailgate are aluminum while the bedsides and roof are steel. Which panel you dented decides how long the repair takes and what it costs.
Usually, by glue pulling from the outside. The bed is double walled so there is no way to reach behind the outer skin, which changes the method rather than the outcome.
Constantly. It is the panel that collects damage on every pickup. Several dents on one tailgate is one setup and one access, so it is far more efficient per dent than damage spread across the truck.
Both are regular work. They mix materials differently from the Silverado, so we confirm which panel is which before quoting instead of assuming.
