I agree. I have a 5 inch hortional door ding and a half dollar size dent from probably a big car. I got.it pulled from a friend shop here in socal for 80.

All good recommendations. One more I'd like to add. On windy days, when I can't find a good spot, I avoid parking next to a car whose door will get whipped open by the wind resulting in an instant ding.
This usually means you park in the row where cars will point towards the wind. |
Thanks for all the advice! Most of what you guys have suggested I try to do, but in this case I was gone for a week and who knows who parked next to me during that time. I'll try and get some PDR done, that's not very expensive though, I was expecting worse.

Parking to avoid door dings is science in itself lol
Gotta analyze the chances. Kids, pets, handicap, vans trucks, expensive cars, compact spaces, beaters, shopping carts, other sports cars. Factors to consider when parking haha Another is baby on board sticker. Maybe they have to carry baby seat out and not pay attention to the door as it swings open and bangs you. |
may have been mentioned, but look for curbs, poles, barriers on one side of the spot. then park as close as you possible can to it. that way one side of the car is protected and there should be plenty of extra space on the other side.

I've found the best way to avoid door dings is to not worry about them and just park your car like a normal human being.

At my work there is a parking spot that has has curbs on both sides, a rounded light directly over head (birds don't land on it) and a fire lane around it.
I get there early enough I always snag that spot. At a restaurant I Parked in a very tight compact space when a bucket of a civic parked next to my car. The highschooler had 4 people in his car and I had a perfect view to what I thought was going to be my first door ding. Well he made his friends wait till he go out, went to the passenger door next to my car and used his body to block the door from hitting my car. I am glad there are still decent people out in the world. |
