Backed into a trailer.

Ok so my dad was backing my 135 out of the garage so he could get his car, and there was a trailer in the driveway and he accidentally backed into it. Now there is a dent and a whole bunch of scratches on my baby. What is the best thing to do?

I'm sorry to hear about your little accident but these things happen. Maybe you could post some photos so we can see how bad the damage is?

Ouch, good luck with the fix up. Your baby's gonna have to go to surgery but she'll be alright

Pics will def help with assessment. But if its in the bumper which is plastic, you can try using a heat gun (VERY CAREFULLY) to push the dent out. Then use some finishing material from 3M to buff out the scratches. I have done this on a friend’s car. Wasn't perfect but def looked better than the dent. Hardly noticeable unless you were on top of the spot.
