Angry Some ******* dented my door.

Went out of town with the gf this weekend, and so my pager goes off in the hotel room, I run downstairs and initially I didn't notice anything so I went back up. Then as we were going out I noticed the dent next to the door handle so I'm assuming someone opened their door like a jackass and slammed it into mine. I asked the front desk about it, but they didn't do ****. Anyways, would I have to get my whole door repainted to fix this dent?

Ouch!!!! I used to work at a body shop that used a guy outside the company for PDR. He did real good work on dents like this. Its cheaper than the alternative. Seems like he charged a little less than $100 a dent but i don't remember now. I'd at least look into it if i were you.

wow, guess they tried to break in your car, or just a door swinging open, but not scratch(odd) with that kind of damage and its not sharp either

i know that when i worked at mazda they had a massive recall on all mazda 3's because if you hit the door exactly where your dent was then the driver side door would unlock itself

Shop around for other paintless dent removal shops, the one I use in Santa Clarita charges me $65 per pannel. If the door has 3 dents it's still the same price. Shops don't normally charge "Per Dent!"

PDR will get that out just fine. However, PDR is an art, so don't go too cheap on it and check some of their previous work before choosing a shop.
