I just got one on the driver's door, right where the curve of the door is for everyone to see, anyone know a good paintless dent remover in the NJ area?
GOD FORBID IF ANYONE EVER DINGED MY DOOR WHILE I WAS THERE.....I'd park my car on their ***.

Price seems WAY TO HIGH, the dent just needs pulled out and there are chemicals you can buy to get her paint off of your car, dilute some goof off and you will be fine just make sure to polish......cmon bra 620 bucks for a ding lol

Oh well...as long as she takes car of the damage.
Old? Young? and what type of car? I try to avoid parking next to coupes/any 2 door cars becuase they open very wide. Some a**holes park very close to you and its hard to get in your Z

Today I just happen to be walking through the parking lot at work and decided to count the number of cars with dings that park close to the entrance (about 40 cars)
Results:
~ 9 out of 10 had dings.
~ about half the cars were less than a few years old.
~ 1 in 10 were less than a year old.
~ most of the SUV's had different paint on the door edge (dingers)
~ those that parked real close to the entrance had more/larger dings and usually had differing paint on the edge of the drivers door (dingers)
Basically the people that park near the entrance could care less about their car let alone yours! They'll drive it until it doesn't go and leave it where it dies.

I always park as far away as possible. Many times I just leave the thing in the garage and drive my SUV - to which I've installed sliders. Sliders look like step rails except these things are made of solid pipe and are designed to protect the SUV. Open your door up against one of these and you're going to lose.
I don't car how far i park away from the entrance, i could be in the next state for all i care, there will ALWAYS be some as.shole that will park next to my car despite the other 100 free spots in the area..
Collect the money from her but don't go to a body shop to get it repaired. I had a dent similar to yours and I went to a shop that specializes in "Paintless Dent Repair." The shop works on high end import cars like Porsches, BMWs, etc. Anyway, the repair guy fixed the dent in five minutes and did a little touchup paint. I couldn't spot the dent afterwards. Cost me $50. He showed me some pictures of actual body damage from other cars and they look like they've never been damaged after he fixed it.
Again, find a shop that specializes in "Paintless Dent Repair" and you'll be glad you did.

if your going through insurance,,,, dont cheap out...your not paying. have a bodyshop do it. they will pull it out then smooth it out 100% with a bit of putty, and repaint the door.
