hit a deer with one week old is250
So i Pick up my new IS and i drive it home and park it in the garage. It rains for four days straight . Finally get a nice day out and i decide to take my car to work to show off. I get ten mins from the house and this small deer jumps out in front of me... Guess i shoulda got the ISF brake upgrade... needless to say couldnt stop and hit it on the l/f corner and it pulled in the fender with the impact. Anyone know any good dent guys in the southeast PA area?

Aw, sorry to hear/see that but at least she's broken in now (the first ding, dent, and scratch is the hardest). The damage can be repaired and I'm glad there were no injuries (unless you hurt the deer)!

Dang that happened to me too, but it hit my drivers side rear door. Check yelp for a good paintless dent repair guy.

Sorry to hear your baby got injured, but at least you aren't! It looks a bit large for a dent guy, but worth a try. Good luck!
