Some dumb person decided to reverse in the wrong direction when leaving their angled parking spot and messed up the side of my car.....

I came out of the restaurant I was in to find my car like this. No note of any kind... I'm so disappointed because I am extremely careful with this car and there was nothing I could have done to avoid this...

Any ideas on the degree of damage? I haven't called my insurance yet but I will do so in the next few days. Good luck to the rest of y'all and I hope you don't have as bad of car luck as I do.

Gonna be expensive. Lots of paint matching and that's not a part of the car that is replaceable.

Did you check if the restaurant had any cameras or if there was any cameras in the area?

I did a quick glance for cameras but I didn't see anything. I think I'll go back and look a little harder but I really doubt they have cameras where it happened...

Never say never sometimes someone does see it happen or there is a camera that caught it

Dont look for cameras, just ask inside if they do. Will take you about 30 seconds and can make the world of difference. Maybe you just cant see where there camera is.

Sorry about your car :/

On your first pic, I assume that's you with the hat on and with the hand on your face. I can't imagine your frustration... :(

As people have told me in the past... It could have been worst. Hope everything recovers for you. :)

^^ that's actually my friend and coworker. I'm the one taking the picture. Thanks for your condolences

In that case, he must be a good friend since he feels your pain, lol. ;) :D

I have seen much worse fixed with paintless dent removal techniques.
Of course in this case the term "paintless" will not apply as it will need paint but the dent removal should work just as well.
I was really upset when I got a dent about the size of a dime on my fender so can't even imagine what that must feel like.

The only good thing is that a PDR guy may be able to at least get the dent out. You'll probably still need some bondo/sanding/paint though since it looks like the paint is down to the bare metal. At least it's easy access to that panel once you remove the rear seat and pop the panel off. Sorry about what happened though. . .sucks that people can be so inconsiderate and not take responsibility for their actions.
