Why not just tell us how you really feel?

I can't answer your question how much though. Never had a door ding, I try to park about 1/2 mile away from anyone just for that reason.

Got any pics of the damage? Sucks that it happened, but you'll get over it soon enough.

Dude, mine got its first and only ding when it was about 3mos old. Right on the crease line on the lower door. Notice it every time I wash it and get pi$$ed off all over again. Sucks that people don't watch out for what they are doing!

Only thing worse is lazy sob's not putting their shopping carts away and watching them blow and roll around the parking lot.

Feel your pain.

if the door dent ain't creased it may be able to popped out by a door ding king or something like that. they drill a hole in edge of the door (by the lock) and slip in some tools and massage it out, pretty damn slick and no paint work. unless if it's too bad, then paint work is required. depending on the place, couple hundred bucks.

that is why i will park away from cars EVERY time, i will park in the furthest corner away, i cannot stand dings, i have gotten in more than 1 encounter with people opening there door and hitting my ride, people plain just don't care and if your ride is way way better than they will ever have then they really don't give 2 sh*ts!

look in the phone book under "ding repair" they have outfits around here "the ding king" "the dent wizard" paintless dent repair. your cheapest bet.

The local franchise here is called 'Dent Doctor'.
He can handle up to maybe the size of a quarter for between $75-$125.

That's what he told me when he sent me away with my football sized dent.

yea... if not my buddy said the dealer wanted 100 bucks to fix his dent....


I dont think it will be much... looks like it needs to be smoothed/rolled not even popped out if that makes any sense!

i was quoted 50 for a ding on my last truck...100 bucks is cheaper than getting it repainted, so they got ya over the barrel 100 vs 200+

dude i park in the way back, in a dirt lot... some one must have squeeze in between me and this car.... im in class so long i don't see my truck for hours so i have no clue what could have been there.


So think its a easy fix? ill let the professional do it..

like i said looks like it just need to be smoothed out or somthing..
