Default Dent Removal

I have a decent-sized dent in my front passenger door from some stupid woman who threw her car door open when i was sitting at a red light. I know that suction cups are usually used to remove dents like this, but how much would that cost, and where could it be done?

I have a lot of dents to. They look really tacky in the sun, but they are not cheap to fix.

it's about $70 a dent, if it is about a quarter size. dents in the hood are harder to fix. I had an estimate done on my old es.

Default DENTS

I have a few minor dents from parkades on my Lexus and a friend of mine suggested using "Hot Ice" (from the downtown ice-cream vendor). I will ask how it works.

I park in the farthest reaches of the parking lots whereever I go now, as not to get hit.

I found out the hard way about parking in the middle of nowhere. The first night I moved to the next town, some retard smacked in to my car and theres a dent where the door handle is. I dont even want to look at the quote. Although I did have it pulled out some where, its 2 different dents now. We used a suction cup thingie. It couldnt get a grip around the door handle or the other dent.

That sucks. I just make sure I park far away now. When i do this, seems like when i come out, there is a crowd of bmw, mercedes, and lexus all parked in the same area.

I always park at the back of the parking lot where there are no cars, I don't mind the walk. It's become a habit no matter what I'm driving.

I definitely don't mind the walk. Small price to pay for not having your car hurt. My friends really don't like it though. lol
