Last Thursday, I came back to my car in the lot at work to find that in the 3 hours that I was away from it, some jerk backed into my S2000 and drove away without leaving a note. Now I have to get damage to my driver's side front fender taken care of. Any suggestions as to where to take it?

Damm...sorry to hear the bad news! Since I'm not from Ottawa (have only lived here 2.5 years) I haven't had to take a car to a body shop (knock on wood!). I'm sure Wing or Fongu could better answer that!

 

Ouch, how bad of a bang in that fender? Is there any scratches? If not I'm thinking the dent doctor might be your guy, he got one out for me I was amazed.

 

I'm not sure. The dent is right at the wheel opening, so there is a sharp turn of the metal. Also, the fender liner is mucked up and there is a nice deep scratch on my wheel. Who is the dent doctor?

 

Take some pics and post them to show us how bad it is!

 

Believe it or not, I haven't gone digital. I shoot with old Leicas and Contaxes with real film. This is one time when a digital camera would come in handy.

So, no recommendations on a body shop?

 

Go see the auto dentist. He is awesome.

He won't get rid of the scratch but if he can fix the dent you'll be 90% of the way there you don't want that filled with putty. Otherwise you'll want a new fender which is like $500 or something. Lucky for you, black car is easy to match.

 

Yo Wing where do you recommend for someone who could buff out a scratch? I have to take the SUV in before I hand it back!

 

How bad of a scratch? I could buff it out for you... I could write up a receipt if your company is paying

 

Let me tell you, what happened to my car won't buff out.
