SOMEBODY DING'D MY CAR!! Happy ending!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My car is MINT i tell you. Its been sat covered on my driveway since November.
Two days ago I moved it closer to my street so I could move some stuff to my back garden and I left her for the day closer to the road.

When I came back that afternoon I saw this ding on the back. I went ape sh!t!!!!! God I was furious.

I know its not major but its like somone violated me and my ride. Prolly my ex lol!!! My car comes out to play in 1st April and I have done so many mods and wanted her to be prestine for the day. I will do a complete thread on all the mods!!

Anway, before I wanted to create ANOTHER thread where we show our frustation, I want to tell you I suffered 2 sleepless nights and couldnt take it any longer so I called a local DENT FIX company and he came and just made my day. You cannot even see there was a ding there at all. It is MINT again!!! I was so over the moon I could have hugged the guy.

So I showed him a ding on my Magnum and he took that out too. Cost me $200 overall. I would have paid double how happy I was. One of the best $200 ever spent on my cars.

Anyway I thought I would share that with you guys!!

They have these "rods" that they use to message the dent out from the inside of the metal. It's pretty cool how they do it. But yeah, I had a 2" door ding on my HHR SS, Pro Dent came out with their mobile service. $135 and two hours later you could never even tell it happened.

That's great. Still 200 bones out of pocket though. (I'm a pessimist)

Mine can't be done that way. :(

PDR rocks! Got hail damage fixed on my goat last year, and I was amazed at how it looked. I knew exactly where the largest dents were on the hood and roof, and I can't see them even after straining to find them. I thought it was a scam when the insurance man told me about it, but I'm a believer now!

Nice fix. Those PDR guys can work wonders.

On another note, if by "covered" you mean a car cover...the wind will slowly make the cover eat through the clear coat and paint on your car. Covers are for indoor use only.

Are you serious? How can it cause that much damage from something so light?
Now you got me all paranoid.
