My Car Was Dented in Parking Lot Today

As the title says, my car was dented in the parking lot.
I always park away from everyone else and today I put a cover on.
I removed the cover and noticed two large dents in the driver's side door.
Is there a way I can removed the dents myself or should I take it to a shop?
I heard about dentless/paintless dent removal. I am not going to make an insurance claim I just want it fixed.

I have used a dentless/paintless service for both my BMW and 65 Mustang, and you can't even tell where the dent was. The biggest thing you have to think about is the reputation of the shop doing it. There really is an art to doing this correctly. Check them out, or even ask your dealer for a reference as they use the services quite often on trade ins.

Yes, it does appear to be intentionally done by an idiot.

I'm so angry, if I ever find out who did this, I'm going to ......... their butts.

Man that's not cool, those two dents don't even line up with where a door would hit you. Two dent's are not an accident. Sorry man, hope you can get it fix right.

Looks to me like some jealous @$$hole did that on purpose. I can see the top one if a door handle smacked it, but the bottom dent seems oddly placed and if someone's door hit it you would probably have a dent where the door curves out in the middle. I would take it to a few shops to get estimates and see if they can pull it.

You are right, the dents don't line up.

I had 2 dents in the same day different parking lots and parked as far out as I could. I was pissed the car was only a week old. I looked into the paintless dent removal, a little sceptacle but found a great company they sent a guy out to my house and he did his magic I can't even tell where the dents were.

I seem to agree with you. If I ever find out who did this, they are going to get hurt.
