Default Dent by Craigslist!!!

Wife and I caught a great deal on a Little Tikes tree house for my son. Huge, made of plastic...

Well, we tried to carry it over a fence, South Texas wind blowing of course and well you know it, wife and I lose control of it and BAM! on the ground she goes, RIGHT NEXT to the car...

At first we were like Wheeeeeew! That was close! That was 3 days ago.

Well, I washed the car today and guess what I found on the right quarter panel?

FREAKIN DING!!!!!!!!!!!!, L shaped and thank goodness not on the crease of the wheel well!

Thanks Little Tikes!

Ok, are you blaming craigslist, little tykes, the wind, your wife, or yourself for letting it go fly into your car?

Regardless the ding is there and just move forward before it drives you crazy. I get that way with a small chip and you just have to accept that these things happen. You can get it fixed ann it should not cost much at all. Done.

Speaking of dings. How much do those paintless dent removal places normally charge? I have a small ding on the rear quarter panel (above the crease) how much am I looking at to fix it? (Ballpark...)
Thanks.

Too Dang much you can bet! I had a ding in mid door size of a dime maybe.... Dude comes by. shoots the crap for twenty min. about the Stang and such.... Spends about 10 min. Max. to take out dent then he whips out a price sheet with cost by ding size on it. Claims my area was about 2 inch dent. WTF 2 inches = .....$300 dollars...but I'll just charge you $200. Ended up paying $150 and have learned to do PDR myself. F-em!
