My kids got to meet the Motherfuckingpieceofshitdamnitasaurus today in the garage.🤬🤣 Gonna have to be more careful about who’s behind me when I think I’m alone.

I was putting away the weedeater, and it fell off the wall mount onto my car.

[Lawguy]

Been there. Miserable.

But I bet a paintless dent guy handles that like it’s a breeze.

[TrevorM3]

pdr like lawguy said.

thank your lucky stars paint isn't broken, and your car isn't black. lol

[GiantRobot]

That sucks. However, I agree with Lawguy that paintless dent removal should fix it right up. Plus many will come to your house.

[AlexFL]

Ahh, my guess was kids hit it with the basketball.

[ambletx]

Thanks guys. I figured that a PDR service would be able to straighten it out. Luckily the dent is a dimple, and not a crease. From what I understand a crease could be harder to get out. None the less, I have a couple of texts out to different PDR guys that were recommended by friends.

Man I totally feel your pain! I once knocked something off of a shelf overhanging my GTR. I caught it...but then lost my balance and put a dent very similar to the one you have there in my car...with my hand, as I tried to stop myself from falling! 🤦🤦🤦

[Earlando86]

You're giving me nightmares!! In all seriousness, nobody else will notice it but I'm sure it's driving you crazy.

[JOHNBMWM5]

That should pull out no problem, good luck with it.

As long as we're in "mea culpa" mode, back in December I was coming around a blind curve only to discover an asshole on his phone in a pickup in my lane. I instinctively swerved and ran off the soft median, but side-swiped the entire right side against trees and brush. A mere $10k in repairs set me back to good as new. It looks perfect- great body shop- but my resale/trade value is shot.

That's an eerily familiar story.....

But mine was $70k repair....

Curious - would a frozen paint finish be repairable with a dent like the one OP got?

$70 grand in repairs, why did they not total it?

sure.

only one caveat, sometimes when they do pdr, they use different tools to tap the dent etc. usually afterwards, it ends up with a small little mark where they were doing the repair. To remove this mark, they would use compound to clean it up and be on their way. As most know here, compound is NOT to be used on any matte finish. So long as there is no mark left behind, the use of compound won't be needed.


I actually just painted my first overall vehicle with a Matte finish. Challenging clearcoat to spray for sure.

I am usually much calmer if I did something to my car vs some random person not being careful.

Is it rude to ask how fast you were going?

Most have been there. I crushed the read door on my Macan Turbo on a bollard by a gas station pump that I didn’t see. Got away lucky with new door skin, paint, 2k.


My wife backed through the unopened garage door. Hey, we needed new ones.

She backed into our cleaning lady’s car.

She backed into my friend’s car.

Both of the above in our driveway. We don’t call her Crash for nothing.

My daughter came into our driveway too fast and totaled my wife’s Highlander into our tree.

I could go on.

[MDJAK]

And to the OP, that’s why you should have either a shed, or a landscaper. Or as Crash calls them, lawnscrapers. lol

LOL. Crash. I love it. I could call my wife that, but instead she is stuck with the moniker Miss Direction, because directionality eludes her. We were once exploring a new neighborhood in which we made a right into the neighborhood off a busy highway. We travelled a block, and made another right, and when we did not see anything we were interested in, I was going to make the block to get back to the highway. Those of you paying attention, which direction should I have turned? Correct, right, but NOPE! Miss Direction was convinced that we should have turned left! For that and many other instances like it, she has duly earned her nickname! But Crash. That is hilarious, ha ha. You win!

Never like the look of sheds in the yard. None the less, the PDR guy did a fantastic job, and the lawn equipment has been relocated to the other side of the garage.
