Any good body shop (not Maaco or Earl Scheib) should be able to execute a paintless repair. It's fast, inexpensive and you'll never see where it was.. Better yet, no need to worry about mismatched paint.

For the best shop in your area, call any high end car dealer that has no body shop of their own and ask for a recommendation. In the DC area, Zamora's in Rockville is the best (long lead time for an appointment).

Check with local car dealer, used car manager, ask for name of the Paintless Dent Removal guy, use him!! ussually for under $75 it can be removed in about 15 minutes or less.

Dent Doctor (one on Hampden/I25 in Denver, I believe still there, but only 8-5 M-F) Other locales, I believe, in CO


Yep, I need one removed too (maybe we can go in on two-fer deal...???)


After Cherry Creek Jewish American Princess decided her 7 series was too large for just one space, she took over the remaining 2 feet into mine

She must have soiled her pricey St John pants when I decided to wait for her a couple minutes to show up out of Petsmart and proceeded to see her get back into her car while actually throwing her door open then PRESSING into my door again to squeeze in (the ding had already happened on her first attempt and couldn't get worse). I blew up! Tapped on her windshield and yelled at her and ask her how she could get her fat f***ing azz in and out of the car (this seemed more deemeaning to a narcissist than calling her a basic B-word). I am sure my rant when on from there, but I can only remember something about how I'd bring my Akitas over for lunch one day to finish off her rat dog for the price of this ding...

Yep, I lost my mind and sorry to hijack your thread in detail... but I just don't get how our little cars still get trampled on by some disrespectful, rich and poor alike.

Arggghh! ..as i start to breathe again...
