Hey all, my car was a victim of a hit and run in the mall parking lot. Thing is I park far away from everyone also.

Heres a diagram of the parking lot

Anyways, my best guess is that someone with an SUV backed up and hit my front right fender, and either didnt notice it, or they did, and just drove away.

Theres no paint damage at all, but due to the placement of the damage, I'm asking if paintless dent removal can help me out. Theres 2 big pressure dents, one right behind the headlight, and one right on top of the wheel arch (also caused the wheel well to bump out a bit) and 2 little "door ding" like dents right in the crease of the fender, where it flattens out over the arch.

*This is not a picture of my car, although I'll try to get some pics up if need be*

Heres a picture of the flat part I'm trying to describe.



Thanks,

Rich

 

Anyone?

 

a trick that has worked for me in the past is to deflate a basketball or football and place it behind the dent, slowly inflate the ball and the pressure should pop out the dent. this may, or may not work depending on where exactly the dent is located. it may require that you remove the inner fender plastic to gain access. let me know if it works.

 

The dentless pro guys are your best bet for a diagnosis. If it didn't crease or flake the paint, that is good but no way to say yes or no based on a verbal description.

 

Paintless work for me looks perfect.

Ya I'm going to a shop today and see what they can do, I was just asking yesterday because all the shops were closed.

 

Keep us posted on your results. I'm extra interested because I have the exact same kind of dent on the passenger side. Good luck!

 

Go get an estimate.

However, with Meguiar's Quik Detailer Spray (avoids paint scratching) and a Dent Puller (2.00 suction-cup available at any auto parts store), you can work small miracles...
