see that was my other concern -- it's a brand new car -- I don't want to take it to someone who's gonna promise something then leave it looking more fu###d up than when I took it in. I looked into the yellow pages & there are a million of these guys out there --- who do you trust ?? :bang:

Oddly enough, the guy that stores my truck in his barn for the winter is one of our local ding doctors. This guy is phenominal.

That's why I take 2 parking spots everywhere I go..... go to the back of the lot and park down the middle of two spaces.....

Avoid x-mass shopping parking lots. Shop online. This will be my third year of online shopping.
I park at the far eaches of every parking lot too. I pull forward in the space if possible and always try to get an end spot. At christmas time there is no far end of the parking lot here in the Northern VA area!
I was once parked in a lot in Maryland and had my 03 GT Vert with the tires turned to the left. An idiot in a huge SUV pulls in beside my passanger side. There was two feet from the painted line to my car and his big A__ tires bump my passenger front wheel and visibly move my car. I am sitting in the car at the time!
No damage or allignment necessary, but what bothered me was the who cares attitude of the other guy in his big SUV.
Reminds me of the commercial where the guy parks at the end of the lot and a smoking wreck parks within 2 inches of his car.

Its amazing how MANY people nowadays just do not care about the car parked next to them... I have SEEN people just open there door into peoples car, and not even blink... I have even seen people do it, while the victim was sitting in there car, looked at the person and not even apologized!!!!

I would never damage anyone's car unless I saw them damage mine. But if I were to see it them do it they're fair game.

That does stink. I went to the mall the other day and parked way out back, like most people with a new car do and I got that 1 idiot that lives in every city that has to take his beater and park as close as he can do the drivers door of my car. Fortunately I did not have a door ding, but I did have to climb in through the passenger side. Seeing as mine and his cars were the only ones in the area I left him a present. He can match the dent in his door to my shoe if he wants, but looking at his car, he most likely didn't even notice the dent.

So you think kicking someone door in because they parked too close to your car is ok? Even if they didnt even ding your car or anything?

When I got my first (and last) door ding I in my stang I started writing down the license plates of the cars next to me. haha I'd only had it a month before it happened so I was pretty pissed.

I was standing next to my 05 last night with a buddy as we admired her. Some lady with about 5 bags (two were cloth and had exposed zippers) walked by the car. She came within a few inches of my car. Not like there wasn't five feet of walkway behind it. I almost freaked out. If she actually scratch my car at that point, I think I would have taken all her bags and thrown them across the parking lot.

Maybe but he started it
If you are saying I am part of the problem for trying to protect my car...heck, I have no problem with that. It's idiots like him that need to learn a lesson.

He purposely parked close to my car. His mirror would have hit my mirror if he could have backed up any farther. There was less than 6 inches between my car and his and get this...nooooooobody was parked on either side of us. His car was not even in his spot. The passenger tires were in my parking spot, so if you think he did not do this on purpose I have to assume you park like he does. :angry:

OK, I GIVE UP. Nobody reads posts other than the prior ONE. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GUY THAT SAID HIS CAR WAS NOT DENTED OR DINGED, BUT THE GUY JUST PARKED CLOSE TO HIS CAR... SO HE KICKED IT.

You can't win. Jerks are people with some sort of complex. You do nothing, and they'll keep on doing it. You do something, and they'll keep on doing it in retaliation.
Only way you can hurt them is in the pocket book. And that's more for your satisfaction.
I remember when I first had my car, I was visiting my g/f at the time. Suddenly, I heard the car alarm go off, so I went down to my car. After checking around, it was quite apparent that the jerk on the passenger side opened his door full force into mine. I was parked dead-center in my spot...he had no excuse for doing that. I can assure you, he could probably could have seen the Nike emblem in his door.

Ya well the first day I got my car I drove to the local grocery store. While I was at the counter we heard a car alarm going off (well a horn). We looked out and sure enough it was coming from my car. I walked over and found a scuff mark on the front tire from a persons shoe. Some idiot kicked my tire. Must have wanted to see if it had an alarm....well now he knows and so does everyone in the grocery store, but what a jerk.

Well, I don't agree with the 2 parking spot solution, but its quite obvious the owner is trying to take care of the car when they park in BFE in an empty lot. For some to park right next to it is an obvious sign that they are inconsiderate jerks.
I'm sure many have seen this already, but I submit the "jerk" story again via snopes:
