Ahh!! Someone dinged my car

Ugh, I hate people, I parked my car on the streets, NYC sucks, anyway, I went to move my car yesterday morning and I noticed there were two small dings on the front driver's side fender. It's like someone just dropped something on it. It is two really small circular dings, any suggestions how I maybe able to pull it out myself?

Dentless repair uses long rods with various ends to massage and press those areas out. Not sure I would attempt myself and to have it done, you'd be looking at 150-200 bucks.

Yep. Dentless can fix that and make it as good as new.

Too bad your not in the Indianapolis area. I know a guy that I've used over and over because of hail and rocks. The guy is a DaVinci at dent repair.

Expect to pay about 100-125 for those two dingers.

Please don't try to do it yourself!

People are just rude. My wife's jeep liberty got rear ended and the guys paid for all damage. Two days later the wheel well gets dinged...hard. Red car no less. Smdh

No, I won't do it myself, though it did cross my mind since I was so upset and I was looking at DIY videos right after. It's not that noticeable, but I know that it is there, and it will drive me crazy. I guess I've been lucky so far, living in NYC and parking on the streets, no one has hit my car yet that I'm aware of. It is full of swirl marks and light scratches though, but no dents, till now.

I literally couldn't have a nice car in NYC! More power to you I hope it gets fixed and is back to normal. My only thought is that it will happen again!

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but portfolio, can you recommend any good detailers in the Indianapolis area for paint correction and some real black paint TLC? I found a guy on Angie's list that talked himself up and charged a pretty penny, but he didn't even buff out the car (only hand waxed it after clay bar towel washing)... My car must have sat outside for part of it's life prior to me buying it because the paint has swirls galore and the quarter window louvers were filled with tree sap and dirt/tar behind them when I got it.

TIA

Dingers and hit & run people are the worst. I always park far far away from other cars. Even though sometimes some douche will park right next to you or even worst, scuff my front bumper and drives off. ****ers!

They're inconsiderate, self centered a$$ holes that are only concerned about themselves.. But if somebody ever does something like that to them, it then becomes a whole different story doesn't it

The detailer at my local dealership's used lot removed a dent from the front of my hood for me. It was about 1/4 the size of a dime and probably 3-4mm deep in the middle

He used one of these things to push the dent out from underneath and you can't even tell it was there:
Amazon.com: Whdz PDR Tool Kit - Perfect for Door Dings Hail Repair and Dent Removal ( C2 ): Automotive Amazon.com: Whdz PDR Tool Kit - Perfect for Door Dings Hail Repair and Dent Removal ( C2 ): Automotive

He basically just applied a little tension against the underside of the dent with it while sliding it slowly back and fourth across the dent and it disappeared. The third picture for the product in the link kinda explains how they do it, might be worth a shot for $21 if you can get behind the dents??!!

That doesn't always work either.. Especially when it comes to certain people who not only have no concern towards anyone else's property, but also have no concern towards their own as well

Paintless dent repair, done right will get the dings out just fine. Not quite sure of who to recommend or how much it would cost.

I do PDR and please don't attempt this yourself. Someone that's good at what they do makes a task look easy, but you need to know how to read the metal and apply the right pressure. I've had people watch me take a dent out and think it looks easy enough. They get another ding and try to fix it themselves and do more damage than good. Sometimes to the point where it can't be repaired to perfection again.

Not sure on the pricing in NYC, but that looks to be less than $100 in my area, so expect $125 and hopefully it'll be less. A good PDR guy will get those out and you'll never know they were there. Good luck.
