Default Quarter panel ding

some idiot opened his door into mine and dinged my car. i have a guy coming thurs to fix it, but he seemed kind of questionable about it because its double layered and hes not sure if he can get it it by removing tail light, or even taking the tired off or even at all. is this fixable since the metal is double layered?

just got quoted for $75 after being told by other places $150, or thats its not possible to get to. this guy said it will be tough, but he said he can do it 100% if he drills a hole. fine with me if he can fix this horrid ding

NO! You can get it done with Paintless dent repair with Ease...I got all my dents removed by them and they removed all of them. do not let them drill a hole. plus one ding cost about 65 bucks. do not let them drill in your S

drilling will be the last resort if he really cannot get to it. im hoping he can without drilling. $65/$75 its all relative

here are some after pics. just ordered some touch up paint for the spot








it sucks that he had to drill, but i figured an unseen/plugged hole is better than that shitty dent. it was awesome to watch him do it. he was here and gone in 20 min, and got the dent out in 10

Lol, drilling isn't bad. You can't even see it in the wheel well...now if he had to drill in the door jamb that would suck.

not a few days after i posted in this thread my new neighbor dings the hell out of my fender with his door.

after some arguing and threatening to call the cops to take care of it, he offered to pay.

im hoping to god they dont have to drill any holes.




its right in front of the driver door on the fender.
im ok with drilling in to the wheel well or something but nowhere anyone can EVER see.

ugh.
