Default Got door ding. Help!!

So today I realized someone dinged my passenger side fender. It's not that big,

about thumnail size and scratched lil bit. I'm so ____ed b/c my tC is only 7 months

old and this is first dent I got on it. I hate people who don't care about other's

property. It's on right center of fender and pretty noticeable.

First I thought I'm gonna fix it myself, cuz I thought it's not too big and I can take

out the plastic stuff inside the wheel well and take little hammer or something and hit

it from inside, but you know I might make it worse. So should I try it or just call

paintless dent remover guys and pay whatever it costs? Anyone knows guys who can

do it in bay area?

Here's pix.

Hey dude .
That is gonna be a b!tch because it is right on the flare . Can be done though . I mentioned this before . Call your dealer or any car dealer to find out if and when they have the dent wizards come by . Get the guy's name and go to that dealer that day and ask for him OR get his # . Usually these guys use their personal cell phones . Call him and ask him to meet you and look at it and what it would cost if you pay cash . Our guy charges $ 99.00 . Did mine for $40 for cash . Looks brand new . Mine was just above the door handle . On that edge . Cannot even see anything now .

Man, I feel your pain. My '05 was only a few months old and I got a whopper in the passenger side door. Man, that thing would shine like the door of a whorehouse. That's gonna be a tuffy, 'cuz it's right on the seam. Unfortunately, I can't offer any advice, but i feel for ya man.

Thanks guys. Yeah it really hurts, I always park my car far from others to void this kinda incident, but this time, it didn't work. I hope it's not that hard to fix, but I doubt it (as you guys said, it's a difficult spot to fix).
