i was coming out of class to day and i saw a slight dent in my rear driver quarter panel, i thought i was just seeing things because my car was parked somewhat by itself , but as i got closer i realized it was a dent this , sux xss

it looked like somone tried to back out of the spot next to mine cut the wheel the hard and didnt turn back an just clipped me a little. theres no paint damage, but i need to get an estimate.

BTW---has anyone used dent wizard. i'm going tmr to infiniti b/c there is an authorized dent wizard guy that comes there every thurday. i'm gonna see what he can do first. any suggestions?

 

you're lucky the paint is okay, it hink they'll be able to fix it without any problems

 

i hope so....

 

The same happened to my wife with her SUV......it sucks.

I witnessed a guy back his car into someone's Acura RL and he just took off. I took his number down and left a message on the person's winshield with a note and the make/model/license plate of the offenders car.

 

ahh we need more good citizens like yourself.. i wish i coulda caught the person in the act.

 

dent wizard is good but only to a certain extent. sometimes they will drill into the body to reach the dent with a long rod.

All they do after they drill is silicone with a little black circular patch.

If you plan on using dent wizard, ask before hand if they have to drill.

 

where are you going to? Ray Catena? Great service!

I heard great things about Dent Wizard.

 

Try pushing the dent out yourself. I've done it to quite a few cars.

 

i tried to push it but i cant reach it. with anything... no i'm not going to ray catena i'm not in jersey right now i'm going to school in Miami so the closest place is south motors infiniti for you guys in S FL. very good service from the last time i went there to get my window fixed.

yeah i am going to check to see whatever is the best way of fixing the G, with either going to the body shop or trying this dent wizard thing. we'll see i'm goin in tmr mornnig so i'll let you know.

 

unless you know what you're doing, don't touch the dent.

when you start making high spots and distort the single impact into
multiple impacts points, even the pro's will not be able to get it out
clean.

i know cause im training right now to become a pro-PDR tech...and
unless u know exactly how to read the dent and know how to push it
out and by how much, it will only turn into ripples. so, don't touch it...
rear quarters are specially hard on such a long car. consult with
your PDR tech. he will know his limits.

 

nah i hear you if if it was something very small i might mess with it but i'm not... i'll leave it to the pros. it just sux i even have to do this right now i was gonna use that money to put my grill and front lip on.

 

My G was parked on its own in the local Uiniversit's parking lot one night. The car was 3 months old and the first time ever in a parking lot. I get back to my car and see a piece of paper on my windshield. I though it was a parking ticket. It was a note "I'm sorry but I hit your nice car". I wanted to cry. She left a phone number. The girl was 18! She paid to replace my bumper. $1000 CDN.

Some people are decent!

 

I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago (hit and run) took out my door, front drivers fender, wheel and bumper. $3800 worth of damage. sucks!

 

some f-king lady backed into my wife's car in a parking lot as my wife was
minding her own business driving down the parking lot aisle earlier this week...
and the lady's saying she's not taking full responsibility.

wft these people... over $4.5K in damages as of yesterday.

here's a pict
