Was at Southpoint Mall today and some jerk left me a door ding on my passanger side. I didn't realize it until I got home.

any local ding / dent repair shops? and how much would this run me.......

looks like they'll take a strong suction cup tool to pull it out.




I mean, do you want a cheap fix or do you want them to pull the dent out, sand it, resurface it, and repaint it?

I don't think it's worth it to do all that when someone is going to dent it again the next time you go shopping.

I got a quote in the $500-600 range for a similar dent. That was with the sanding, resurfacing, and painting. Said they couldn't do it with a suction cup.

I said F it and am leaving it alone. No dent is worth that to me.

If at all possible you want to keep the vehicle's original paint intact.

krazedgirl, go pay a visit to Dent Wizard.

^!

they will use a heat gun and special tools to not compromise the integrity of the paint

And finally if you don't want door dings always park your car in the back of the lot whenever possible.

Are you guys kidding about $500?

Go to Dent Wizards. it will cost you $100 or less for them to take care of it. Paintless dent repair is all you need for that one. Unless there is damage to paint, you will not be able to tell it was there after they are done.

yeah i was hoping I can go the route of PDR and spend less than $100

I have a few places I'm going to start calling today
- Dent Wizard
- Dent Eliminators
- Dent Denominator
- Dentless Daves
- Dent Works

I do park my car way in the back and not next to any cars only to come back out and see large trucks parked next to it, almost feels intentional

I always park next to those cars way in the back of the lot, cause then noone can see me bang my door on them. Nothing makes me happier than denting your shitty cars.

anybody ever tried this?

That looks like a great mythbusters video.

4/4/2012 7:17:25 PM

$85 later and it's restored to 85%.....dent guy said that's the best he could do ...
oh well

^^ i don't see any fix in that video, it seems worse...am i missing something?

Yea, you're missing the part where the dent pops out and nothing is wrong with it afterwards
