This is what it looks like when two 2x4's fall off a shelf in your garage and hit your drivers side door. I started up the car and I guess the vibration jostled them free? (I do have an F-Sport exhaust )

Anyway my insurance quoted me for a $770 fix-up. Is this even fixable? I obviously want perfection, but I want to know what my best options are. There are 6 scratches total 2 of which are on replacement parts, the side mirror housing and the plastic side trim. The other 4 are dent/scrapes. The dent scrape combo is frightening me. Can this be fixed to new condition?

I am in Northern Virginia, are there any recommendations on a shop to take this too that will fix this the right way? Right now I have an appointment with Lindsay Collision Center in Springfield Va next Wednesday.

What do you guys think?

EDIT:
The scratches are rough, I can feel them with my nail. My nail can slide over them though. It looks wet sand-able but then I would have basically 0 paint left on. (so then I guess I need paint)
The dents are very shallow by the way. The last picture shows the distortion, tomorrow in the sun I will try to get a better shot.

If your nail can catch in the scratch then you need paint, else a buff would fix it. PDR (paintless dent removal) might get the dents out though, but you'd have to have them take a look at it to verify.

 

Its hard to see the dents in this picture. Can you take an angled shot in the sun?

 

Really hard to tell from the pics. I'm sure that scared the crap out of you when it happened. It would have me!

 

PDR looks like it could take out the dents as they are very shallow, but the scratches look to be too much for wet-sanding.

 

I could see some scratches but no dents from the pictures. Maybe some updated pics would help. $700 seems to be in the ball park to repair/repaint an entire door panel. You could take it to your local body shops to get a few quotes.

Good luck on the repairs.

 

Yeah, it did scare me. It took a min to process what had happened. The boards beat the crap out of the car on their way down. It was super loud. I thought I was in drive or drove into something!

 

any other shots? in thse pictures it doent even look as bad as the description, you scared me lol.

 

Unexpected noises are a *****. I was leaving a Target in North Raleigh today, and heard a pop/crash noise. I glance to my left and see a girl in an SUV with a scared look on her face. I'm like no way! She just hit the car she was pulling in beside?? As I got closer and could see through the lanes, she had simply run over a bottle of Coke with the cap on it still. When I got past her, she was still looking around and checking her mirrors. Lol.... Clearly freaked out.

from picture it looks like easy fix, won't be perfect though

wet sand
compound with rotary polisher
polish with da
wax
done

 

most of that will buff out

 

ouch, hope you get it fix soon
