Dent in door
Alright my door just got hit with a flying football, now there's a dent in it. I wanna get it repaired. Can I take it to a local bodyshop or should I bring it to a dealership?
The dent is minor and no paint job is required, no creasing either, but you can see that the reflections and lights arne't straight at the door, and it bends around the dent. How much would a job like this cost? Anybody ever try using one of those suction cup things to repair dents? Last edited by jarviz; 08-11-2012 at 08:11 PM. |

Use PDR. I had a dent repaired on my BRZ within the first week of ownership and there's no evidence it was ever damaged, a truly flawless repair.

Depending on the size/shape of the dent you can pull it our with a suction cup. They sell the suction cups at most auto stores and they are specifically designed to pop out mid size dents. I have used them before and they work well, use water or silicone to get a good seal then pull like hell.
