Got dinged
Kinda ironic. I went to meet a person to sell a xbox one and his passenger proceeds to ding my car.
I guess the money I got from the xbox is going into my ding repair. There's a small ding and another one where the paint chipped off. Should I take this to the dealership or independent shop? How much does it usually costs to fix these kind of things? It was so weird how it happened. I watched him open his door and thought he would be smart enough to not let it fly open, yet he did. It wasn't even a lot of force, it barely hit my car. Why would the paint chip off instead of causing a ding?? I'll post pictures later. |

The paint kind of sucks on our cars...I opened my door and barely tapped the side of my garage and it took a some paint of the door. Did you not get the guy's friend to pay for the damage?

Were it not for the paint chip you'd be looking at about $100 for PDR. Lease or own?

I've seen a lot worse on my previous vehicles and they held up much better than this. |

Worked great on my last car, but the chip needs to be deep enough otherwise it will just remove all of the touch up paint. |

Got one on my 228ix a month after I bought it. Friggin kids at the pool who don't know any better. We have a great touch up guy here, probably $60. The first one is the worst one.
