Hey guys,

Last weekend I took my ZL1 out for the first time this year. Spent the day detailing, washing etc.

I was out with my daughters shopping, in and out of the trunk numerous times that day. Later that evening when I was leaving my house to meet up with a friend for a beer I notice a small scratch about 4 inches long, that has a dent about the size of a quarter. The scratch appears to be down to the primer, and dent is minimal but noticeable, especially by me, which is the worst part! It is located above the driver side rear tail light, just to the left.

There is no way I wouldn't have noticed this throughout the day with my daughters, my assumption is one of them or their friends hit it with their bike handle bars, but they are too scared to tell me.

I am wondering if anybody knows of a good reputable shop to take my ride too, i'm very protective of it haha.

Help me out boys! (and maybe girls)

I have heard Ming is pretty good

Try Ming. If is light enough of a scratch, they can help. Dentless removal they do as well. If you require more, Cougar Autobody on Yellowhead is very good.

Thanks guys, I was considering Cougar actually. I was also thinking of using the authorized body shop for Sherwood Chev where I bought the car. That way if something goes south I may be in a better position to raise hell haha.

Heard of Ming, always thought of them as sub par, but never looked into them, it was just an assumption. Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!

Ming for sure. They took a scratch and a door ding out and made it perfect. You will need to pickup a paint stick before visiting them.

You can order one through parts at any dealership.

Ming takes dents out from the inside out by massaging the metal. They took my door panel off. Its perfect now.
