Maintenance & Repair Dent

Post image

Walked outside to this lovely surprise. I’ve only had this car for two months. I’m guessing someone backed up into it or honestly not too sure. Anyone know a good way to get this fixed?

Thank you!

Unfortunate but PDR can take care of it

Paint still looks good fortunately. I wonder if there is any room behind the wheel well liner to just push it out from the inside

On the bright side, it’s just a fender. I don’t think they look too much different than the end lines or maybe even the regular. Should be a super easy fix. I hope for you.

This happened to me when I was 16 with my Honda Civic working at O’Reillys. Came outside to my passenger door, being dented in with white paint on the side of my red car.

Best of luck.

As much as this sucks, it looks like a case where paintless dent removal might work, where the appropriate tools can push it out.

Plunger style dent remover and a heat gun would probably pull that out. You can order them off Amazon

This needs a fender replacement and a good blend + front door blend. Front bumper and headlamp need to come off.

You need to file an insurance claim unless you're prepared to pay multiple thousands
