so lets just say after a whole weekend of slaveing on my house I was moving my toyota and I wasn't paying attention pretty much in lala land and backed my toyota into my rear quarter panel on my tc... a lil embarassed of it so i might not be around much until its fixed hope everyone has a great summer of shows in there non dented cars lol...


not turning this into insurance im not about to get another rate hike from them greedy guys

 

Ouch!

Sorry to hear that, but embarrassing as it is, it happens.

Hope you can get it fixed soon.

 

that's embarrasing.. hope you get it fixed soon

 

You hit it at least with a Toyota.........lol.

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get it fixed soon.

 

dude how many beers were you on and are you taking back up lessons from brian????? LOL

other then that dude that sucks how bad is it?? and you can still come and hang out with us.

 

care to share a few shots, of the damage?

 

OUCH!!! that sucks.. sorry to hear that.

 

heres a pic of my car its a lil dirty, i just don't even care about cleaning it anymore im so upset... the worst part is i wasn't drinking just over worked and so exausted i might of well been drunk... any one have any ideas how to get dent out and fix paint... it could of been worse but man this car was my baby

 

hmmmmmmmmm well hmmmmmmm maybe me and brian can figure something out.

 

im jus in shock everytime i walk by my car... that day i painted my 2300 sq ft home, pulled 20 ft. of juniper plants, and made 6 city dump trips i was seein stars from bein so tired it was crazy didn't even see my car when i backed up my tacoma

 

Dang that bites. Hate to see this stuff happen. I get upset over small scratches.

 

^x2 you shouldn't let a little dent keep you from the Scion goodness that is the PNW crowd...and all the events & get-togethers!!

 

bah, that'll buff out! Well, maybe not haha. Sux to hurt your own car like that. I had my liftgate up and closed the garage once and scraped my spoiler with the adjustable garage arm thingy and put a very very small ding in the passenger door when I was putting it on a lift once. Both my fault but still very minor compared to that. With my last truck, I backed over my motorcycle once because my roommate didn't park it in the garage like I asked It was 3:30 AM and I was in a daze going to work.

 

Lesson 1.........never take lessons from Brian in backing a car unless the less is based on how not to back up a car..........

Hey the good part is at shows they quit trying to get me to park straighter or closer......lol........even Matt goes........ehhhhhh......just put it there..........and walks away now.......lol

 

Hey, I know this is my first post on here, but I saw this and thought I could at least give ya someone to talk to for the dent and paint work. On South Tacoma Way there is a shop called Metal Magic, you can ask for Lou Wells, he's the owner of the place. They do a lot of work other than just paintless dent repair, I'm sure they could help ya out. Also, one other shop that has done really good work for me is Lakes Body Shop off Steilacoom Blvd. in Lakewood. They have helped me out a couple times with my Acura TL and I'm about to have them do a lil bit of work on our new Scion TC RS 5.0, nothin major, just a few things I'd like to see done. If you go here you can pretty much talk to any of the guys there, I have had two different guys refered to me by Randy that work there as adjusters but used to be painters so they just pulled my car around back and got a pretty nasty lil scratch out of it for $20.

 

thanks murderedouttc... ya im low on cash the next 3 months i have to save every penny or i'd take it in im goin to vegas in september i was trying to get this fixed before vegas since im driving there i don't wanna have a dented scratched tc in vegas haha... anyone know if the dent remover thing at the stores works its like suction cups or somthin???

 

Your best bet is to take off the interior panels to access that area (i've seen it when I did my speakers) and see what you can safely pop back out. When doing this, be sure to heat the paint up a little with a hair dryer or heat gun so it doesn't crack if you pop the panel back out. The scratches can be covered up as a temporary cheap fix but later on need to be addressed seriously to prevent rust. It might be pretty tough to use those crappy dent kits because our rear fenders are double wall welded. I found that out when I rolled mine. Take your time and keep the paint warm. Good luck!

 

(I concur with the recommendation of Lakes Body Shop for VERY professional work and attention to detail. I also work through Randy... They have done the occasional very quick magic "around back.")

 

If you are not comfortable doing your own fix-its then definitely use a highly recommended source for the work as mentioned above. I'm not near your area but if multiple people are praising him, its work checking out for sure.
