Angry Got a dent!

I was getting gas and my friend was in the passenger side and was getting hot from the car being turned off, so he opened the door and hit the **** out of it on a concrete pole by the gas pump and left a decent size dent on the door of my brand new Z


What is the best way to get this out? I can take pics if it helps

a real friend wouldn't have been so careless with your brand new car.

Take a pic of it. Did it screw up the paint? If not you might be able to get one of those paintless dent-removal people to take care of it for you.

Paintless dent removal from a body shop - shouldnt be too expensive since they dont have to paint anything.

accidents happen, is your buddy offering to pay for the repair? i think the last time i used a dent repair service it was only around 75 or 80 bucks for a dent in the door.

+1. I had a door ding removed for 40 bucks. They charge by panel. I just went and met the guy @ a dealer.

The plunger trick worked for me today amazingly.
The Dent place locally wanted 220.
