I doubt it would work due to the very thick metal. But it would be awesome if you called them and they said yeah... Camt hurt to ask.

I've had two leads for guys who do restore old aluminum end up not panning out. Both did until the last couple of years and were CHEAP but no longer do it

Re: Paint-less Dent repair on Grille?????
The reason PDR started was because of the new steel that is used in modern vehicles. it has a high tensile strength and it has a memory. it likes to go back to its original location. They can massage it out. anything thats not creased thats about the size of a small car tire. It does not work on older vehicles and you just have to use the old methods. most of them seem to chase storms and set up in dealerships now. they can make $1800 a week and don't want to mess with the small stuff. They do have a gentle hand so they should be able to handle a grill if not creased or flattened out but its not the same as pdr however they could do it if they have the skill. Just remember if its cheap its probably for a reason.
