:( Geoffrey got his first owie today. I stopped by Party City in West LA to pick up the finishing touches for my costume for South Bay MINI's Halloween party, and came back to find a nickel-sized ding on the driver's side a few inches away from the fuel door.

Anyone know of a good dent repair place in or near West LA?

There doesn't appear to be any scraped paint, but there is this weird squiggle inside the actual ding.

This is really upsetting. I made the effort to park FAAAAAR away from all the other cars because I knew there was gonna be a lot of kids + parents in SUVs/Minivans and I still end up with a hurt MINI.

 

I find that now I'm having to practically hide my car to keep it safe. People have absolutely no respect. I say, surround your car with land mines.

 

Look for a good paintless dent removal shop and they should be able to fix that ding for about $100. I had a big dent (my daughter hit my MINI with the door from my wife's car) in the door. I went to a place called Carsmetics. A half hour and $90 later, the dent had vanished without a trace. They use special tools to push it out from the inside. Truly amazing.
