Default help!!! dent on my tc!!

I was driving on freeway the other day and suddently a stupid bird or whatever it is flew right on my passenger door and left a dent!!! the dent aren't that big, but it's bugging the hell out of me.

Can anyone tell me if the dent puller works on pulling out my dent??? or what type of dent puller i need to pull it back out. I went to dentwizards.com and they gonna charge me $149.00 plus labor fee... I don't want to spend that much just to pull out a tiny dent... please help me..

Thanks

Spend the money...you can do more harm than good if you don't know what you are doing.

That's not so bad.
Paintless dent repair technician might fix that for around $50 - $80.

Yeah, it does suck, but the only way I can think of to keep a car from getting dents, scratches, and chips is to not drive it. You don't wanna do that do you?

lol, dude you sure you just didn't open your door and it hit something like a pole or something lol. We can unsterstand if it's like that. But a dent like that should cost around 70 - 80 bucks or so, no paint damage, your lucky. Take it to dent specialist under the BBB.

^ What he said

That isn't a dent it's a ding, call DENTMASTERS and they'll come to your house and fix that ding for you.

T.T and I'm still not over it even though it happened during the summer =( I still have yet to get it fixed (hopefully sometime during winter break I'll have time...).

3 days after i bought my tC, my mom went and closed the garage door on the hood. (by accident of course). I went back to the dealership and asked if they could do anything about it. They called in their dent specialist to take care of it. The specialist had a special deal going on. The first dent they fix is free, and the second is half off. Try asking your dealership and see what they say. If anything, just hassle the hell out of them. Maybe they'll get annoyed and just do it for free. haha.

I opened my door into a metal post while filling up with gas. The dent is weird. I can only see it at an extreme angle. Otherwise it's invisible.

Suction cup dent puller. After that, body work.

But the cheap dent puller cups you can buy from most auto parts stores work for those sort of dents.

If you can, just go there and talk to them. You'll have a better chance of getting it done for free if you're face-to-face.

Why go to the dealer? Paintless Dental repair shops usually go to your house and do the job. Just search for DENTMASTERS in your area, give them a call, describe the damage and they'll make an appointment to come to your house and work on your car.

Your dealership must've been really cool. Because nothing's free in this world
