Dent Fix

I was in a restaurant last night and when I returned to me car I noticed that the car next to me had opened their door too wide and put a nice little dent on my rear door.

Is their anything I can do to fix it?

What will a body shop tell me?

Try the "Ding King". I used in on my '00 Eclipse with mixed results

if there's no paint chipping, I've had great luck with local "paintless dent removal" places. Look in your yellow pages. It will cost you like 50 bucks and they do it while you wait.

Yup, paintless dent removal is the way to go. They can usually come to you, too, if you want.

I had something worse right behind the left rear passenger door. Went to a good body shop and got it fixed with a new matching paint. As far as I know, it has no filler and looks brand new. So find someplace where you'll know they do a good job. Oh, and it bit off $200 out of my pocket. You have to pay for some other idiot's doing. I feel your pain.
