Rep Power: 303

Up at college no one has respect for other peoples rides. So every year I get about 2-3 door dings. Pretty bad ones at that. So now I have 3 on my door that are also scratched. How much would a body shop charge to repair the dings and paint the scratches? I'm just curious if anyone has done this. I'm going to get them fixed at the end of the semester and wanted a guess as how much it will cost. Thanks

dings sometime the body can pull it out with out other modification, there all types of method on this, if its enough where they have to repaint ur whole door then 200 plus, check around it may vary on diffrent shop,

I just had some dings pulled out last week. 2 on my driver door and ripple in my hood. The guy stuck this metal rod down the door panel and through an access hole on my hood and wahlaa!!! they were gone $200 later. but he did an awsome job, can't even tell!!!

DentPro is where I went I think they're only on the West Coast though. I've heard of one called "Ding King" too.
Look in your telephone book...they have wierd names like that!!!

It depends on what the dings look like, if the are real sharp hard hits, then you may need to have the whole door painted because it will take allot of work to get them out and repair.

If they are longer ones then they may come out easier and not need to be painted and should pop out easily.
The scratches might need to be painted or might be able to buff out, either way you would be looking a couple of hundred.
