I have two door dings, one on each side of the car. How much is a good price to fix the small dent and repaint the area?

 

As long as the paint is not scratched, you can use "paintless dent repair." They have special tools and go from the inside and "massage" the metal back into shape.

I've never needed it (yet!), but that is what the Nissan dealers use to remove the occasional dent that arrives on a new car. And NO, there is no way you can tell it was ever done and it only costs like $50 bucks a dent or something.

If the paint is scratched, then that is totally different, of course.

 

Paint was scratched on both dings. Nothing major, but still scratched. I am taking it to the body shop tomorrow to get an estimate for both, just don't want to get raped on the price.
Thanks for info on the paintless dent repair.

 

Body shop will rape ou every time; they'll want to repaint the whole panel. Stop by a few dealerships and find out when the PDR guy and the touch up guy will be onsite, then talk to them. They'll ussually do deals fr cash and they do great work. I had a guy pull out three dings for $60 cash and I've had scratches and chips repaired for about the same. If the scratches are just in the clear coat and not through the paint, you can buff them down pretty good with some compound and a little elbow grease; with that and the dents pulled out, it may be good enough for you. No harm in checking with a body shop, but I highly recommend talking to the mobile specialists before you do anything; they do some pretty amazing work.

 

Thanks for info MustGoFastR, will check with mobile deatailers I saw the other day. I don't need it to be perfection, just somewhat normal and I'll be happy.
