Default Small dent in OEM hardtop, need a shop

Something in my garage fell off a shelf and put a small dent in my OEM hardtop. Took it to my usual bodywork guy and he said that because the hardtop is aluminum and because it has a liner inside that he can't get under that there is nothing he can do. Does anyone know a guy that can work on fixing a hardtop in the NY Metro area? Thanks!

A SMALL dent and your body guy can't fix it? Don't you think that's a bit odd. Maybe your body shop guy is blowing you off.

We might be able to use PDR to get it out, depends on how sharp the dent is and where exactly it is...

Using dry ice to remove dents, never tried it myself but very interesting.
