Smile Just got dentless car

Yea, so the car was mint for the most part....

Some jackass opened the door into my drivers side.....

I park like miles away from where I need to go, usually with no one around me, I think this happened at the Fresh Meadows Kohl's... I didn't notice it right away because the car was dirty after the light rain.....

I am so pissed.....

Anyone know a good dentless repair place in the metro area? There is no nicks, just like 2 dings right next to each other, kinda like a small dent...

Hoping I can get it out without massive body work..........

Haha don't worry about those little dings, they will come right out.

I have collected and still colleting dings from my NYC garage (I pay premium for the front row parking with exotics but I still get em),
and last time I paid $200 for about 5 dings, 2 dents, 1 crease and they all took it out. I mean dings are gone like they were never there, but crease and dents are hard to pull it out like they weren't there before if they were sitting there long time.

Maybe just wait to get more and get it all out at once since it's cheaper?

I got a couple of minor dents too. On both sides of the quarter panel. Maybe we could get a discount if we go together....

there's a dent wizard guy at JMK BMW in springfield, nj if you're willing to make the trip into jersey. he does good work and is surprisingly cheap. give them a call before you go in. check out this thread.. it has pictures of work he did on my car last year. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=377588

Just got the dent taken care of.......wow amazing work, (thanks Bill)

It was a little on the high side compared to what I heard people charging ($90 a panel) I paid $150......but he took care of the entire drivers side door, took him a little over an hour and he was super careful.........

It's like a brand new door.....thanks for all the input guys
