Default Door Dings

Well less than two weeks into S ownership- I received my first parking lot ding. It is on the passenger front quarter panel.
Is there anything special about the S, or can your average travelling dent repair person address our svelte car bodies? :-)

Also, anyone in PDX have good experience with a particular dent removal company?

Thanks.

Yes, Already--thanks to reading on this post- I stay way behind on freeway/unless passing, park in north 40, etc.
This ding happened up at the zoo (friend had wedding) noticed it the next day when washing the car because it is actually on the front panel above the tire.
All avoidable with a little consideration. Seems to be in short supply these days.

Me...I'm hoping good manners make a comeback.

Thanks for the thoughts--anyone use a local PDR?

I haven't used any pdr's around here... but yeah I always try to park next to the curb so I only have to worry about dings on one side, and also I've become exceedingly good at parking within an inch of the curb so as to maximize the space between me and the next car (usually makes dings impossible) Just watch your rims... good luck!

You can always call your insurance company and ask them who they'd recommend in this area. Another thing to do which may seem weird is to call around to some of the honda/acura mechanics shops and see if they have anyone that they'd suggest. I've been given suggestions before by places like that, I just don't remember any names.
