That blows, sounds like you might have been in the local Home Depot parking lot, I park in the boonies and still manage to get a scratch/ding there.

that sucks people are stupid. I park far away too but I have nerf bars and my tires stick out so it helps protect it. I especially hate people who rest their doors on the car next to them...what ****ing idiots

The small dent can EASILY be handled by the paintless dent removal guys... as for the scratch, hard call for a fix, sight unseen.

that sucks man, just gotta deal with sometimes the fact that there are a lot of people who dont care about what they drive, and wont bother to treat other cars with respect because they dont know what its like to have something nice. Sometimes its an accident cuz ive done it when i was younger in a very windy day in an explorer, but it wasnt anything bad.

Same here. You hit on something that I really can't stand!! Park out in nowhere and some moron parks beside you and doors the truck. Ours seem to take in on the crease in the lower body. Dentless guy got mine out ok but is was hard to get due to the moron hitting it so hard. I have trouble with that being an accident. Hauled *** before I got back to the truck. Another one got my wifes car while we were out for the evening....and made the mistake of not moving before I got back. That one will think before denting someone elses ride.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Some dink at the golf course put a little ding in my chrome rear bumper. You just can't keep your sh*t looking new anymore if you drive it anywhere. I think some people do it on purpose. I love seeing people (who if they were an inch shorter, would be perfectly round) park next to someone with about a 12" gap between their ride and the other car. This gurantees some scratch ding action for the unfortunate person they parked next to.

ouch. If it makes you feel any better I tore off a gas pump and it smacked my door, leaving some nasty dents and breaking my fuel door. Fun times, less money now.

Typically not very expensive at all... call around to a few body shops to see if they can refer you to someone that's doing it locally. Also, check the yellow pages.

I'd expect to pay less than $100 to get it taken care of...

My father's F-150 got pinged with a baseball on the roof. He had it done and you could just BARELY tell that it had been hit. The guy told him that the only reason that he couldn't get it all out was because the metal had slightly stretched due to the impact.

Looking at what you have, they'll have NO problem getting it out... Those guys work voodoo.
