Door Ding ARGH!!

I finally got one, I made it about 2 months without getting any. I just noticed today, not exactly sure where or when but it had to be within the last couple of days. I'm so pissed!!! Anyway's anybody have a good recomondation for removal. do the ding king thingies work? what is the average price for removal from a dent shop? it is just a little dent the paint is still intact around it. I wish people had more respect for other peoples property.

Try a paintless ding remover, local body shop should have info on the procedure.

A semi truck blew a tire with me right behind it, it ended up smacking my hood pretty good.

a paintless dent removal guy fixed it for $75, he did a sick job.

the best advice for u when u notice door dings or to control door dings are:

1) left ur car park at home ( like a trophy)

2) forget about door dings (ur going to experience more dings in ur car life)

3) put a fence around ur car when park...

now really speaking man, dont worry and enjoy ur life with a great car, maintain it clean and wax it to preserve the shine....dings are part of life...bye

I've gone 19 months without a door ding. The secret is to park far far away and make sure the spot you park can only ding you on one side. Since you parked far, you will burn a few extra calories, I just saved your life.

i do the same thing, park a mile away....... make sure you park against a curb so only one side of your car is at risk, then get as close as possible to the curb.....easy but a PITA, because Door dings make any car look like ***.

get it removed ASAP

I always park on the curb and away from other cars (especially beaters). I still got a door ding and it pissed me off.
