Default Parking lot dings....

Like it says....got a few minor parking lot dings on the right rear 1/4 panel...any special method to getting them out short of going to a body shop?? i know those dent-removers don't really work....and they're too far up near the window to pound out....any suggestions?

Paintless dent removal-------- Dr Dent, Dent Wizard, etc.. Should be local in your phone book. check on line, or check around with local car dealers (dealers use them all the time)
Good Luck.

Yep I had good luck for a year up until last weekend.

I always park far away in lots.

Left my car on the street at my friend's house and there it is. Big gawdamn scratch and dent on my quarter that I refer to as 'non-metallic blunt force trauma'. Wasn't another car. Too high for a bumber and too low for a mirror, no paint marks. Wood or plastic perhaps.

If I ever find the fu**er I'll stick my leg so far up their A$$, the water in my knee will quench their thirst.

Going in for paint Wednesday.

This is off topic, but why should we never buy black, tommy?

Its not that you shouldnt buy black but scratches and imperfections stick out like a sore thumb more than any other color car.....

Regarding price. I've used the paintless dent repair places (not a large chain but an independent) with good results. It's been a couple years but it seems like the prices in my case started at about $40 or $50 (maybe less) and went up from there. Try to negotiate a deal for multiple dings. Some of the new car dealerships are now even offering limited term contracts on car purchases. It's pretty neat to check out. I watched the guy do a couple of minor dings on a Mazda my wife had at the time. I was skeptical until I saw it done. This guy did really nice work and the original paint stayed intact.
