Default Mistery Hit?

Alright I notices this bump on my car. It looks like i got reversed into on the front right bumper if ur sitting in the car. NO body damage as far as cracks or dents, but there is some paint damage. I cant tell if its from my car or theirs. Its VERY hard to see, you probably have to get within 2 feet and stare to notice, but it is quite big. Weird?!

But im in Danville/Walnut Creek/Dublin in between all that. Does anyone know of a good body shop that you think can take car of this? Ill have pics up in a bit.

Donno who did it, like i said no dammage marks, i noticed when detailing .
And car is brand new like 2 weeks old. 1000 miles...

:/

Thanks guys

Eh, You dont live in miami, so be happy it was just a little scratch. lol

Down here .. if we get hit were lucky if its not a total. Too many bad drivers here. As for looking for a body shop .. I'd try google. Or maybe take it to the dealer and see if ya can get some touch up paint. Or try to find the touch up paint somewhere. Takecare and GL. Remember Park far and away from beaters!

if you said the car is on weeks old, then it might have be done at the dealer, when the car was being unloaded from the truck.. I know mine had a inch long scratch on the paint.. but the fixed it before i took the car home.

Wow! I feel like I'm drunk reading this when I'm actually quite sober.

Try some Scratch-X. Then try some QUALITY wax of your choosing. It might work.

if it's black it probably won't work. that sounds like the scratch is to the primer.
