Dent

[BillyMako]

The other day i noticed that i had a dent made by someones doors on the left rear panel. I share a driveway with a neighbour and i noticed that they also have a chip on the edge of their right hand side rear door on the rear of their new calais.

I approached them and they said it could have been the kids but now say it couldn't have been them and say proove it was us.

What can i do? Should i just call my insurance company and let them deal with it?

I have been quoted $700 to fix it because the whole panel needs painting. Is this a good price or can i get it done cheaper? The dent is right on the sharp line that runs across the side of the r33.

Yeah they do some pretty good work as well.

Id start with a mobile dent doctor and go from there, the new company that is around now get good results without having to repaint panels

I would just leave it - can't really notice it... insurance will cost an excess, will decrease your rating and will be of a little hasssle... not worth it.

better still, smack in the door on their car and tell them proove it wasnt me and see how they feel! lol

It's pretty noticeable in real life. I dont think a dent doctor would get it out. It needs painting also. Will i have much luck getting my insurance company to take care of them?

a dent doctor will make it look a whoooole lot better and after they are done it might only need a touch up with paint and end up been alot cheaper.

smarter still, smack their car with something other than your car's door

Will it be possible for a dent removalist to fix this dent?

[Craved]

should be able to, i have seen some pretty bad dents repaired using their methods .. and that panel is easy to access as well.

i have used a dent doctor in anotrher car and also ensured they do paint touch ups, came out looking Perfect!!! Cost me about 160. i used him about 3 times and he got used to me calling him :-) The worst one i did was worse than that and made a much bigger gash, so he filled it over with a small amount of bog, matched the paint code, touched it up, but clear over it and bobs your mothers brother........

So there will be n problem getting a dent removalist to fix it without painting the whole panel???
