Default door ding

guess what, I "finally" got a door ding. After over a year of avoiding it, I finally got one. I don't know how because I gave the person next to me a lot of room. Well, its the "crease" kind, not the "pointy" kind. But its real subtle (you can't see it unless you are lookin down the length of the car) so I dont' know if its worth fixing. What are your guy's experience? Does a door ding have to be a certain size before a dent repair guy can actually fix it?

I had one on the rear quarter panel and Dent Wizzard took it out. You can not tell it has ever been touched now. Great work. $70.00.

If it's not noticeable, just wait until you get a few of them before you have them repaired. It'll cost less per ding...

dings are an easy fix nowadays and cheap (like the other guys said)... the only catch is a good shop will not pull out a ding that has any crack or chip to the paint... other than that, a good shop can pull it out close to 100% due to the good "memory" quality of sheetmetal...

now fix it, will ya ?? it looks like crap !

Just take it to Dent Wizards. Even though other people might not see the ding, you know it's there, and it'll bother you.
