There are good people out there.
« on: October 18, 2008, 04:30:20 pm »
Found a note under my windshield wiper at my golf and country club with a phone number and an explanation to the dent in my front passenger door. “Call me for visa number to repair door at your body shop of choice” this was on a scorecard with a foursome with no score higher than 80……..fackers.

Finally, someone bumps someone and leaves a proper note!  Good on them...

It is a vertical dent about 12 inches long that was caused by contact from the guy’s truck door. Not much these days cost under $500 form a body shop. I called they guy and he was very apologetic and gave me his Visa number and indicated he will call the number in to the shop when I get the estimate.


Edit:

Perhaps he figured I would ask to see the security camera tape  ???

There is a crease in the area that has the scratch and is noticeable at the proper angle and in daylight. The chips are down to bare metal. I t must have been a solid hit from the door to do that kind of damage. I will try and take a better pic in daylight tomorrow.

 ??? No PM T..di you e-mail?

Talk with a paintless dent removal guy... they are miracle workers.  There was a similar crease-like dent in my wifes' door that someone left a note for as well (wow!), and autodentist here in Ottawa made it disappear 100%.

They usually do airbrishing for paint chip repair and it looks great, no bondo/filler, and you'd be surprised how inexpensive it is compared to a body shop (not that you care, it's not your $, but regardless of price it's a great place to try!).

I got an estimate for $840. The dent is on the horizontal fold along the door and can’t be pinged out. Another pic with cheap camera:

 :o  Crazy how much bodywork costs, isn't it?  No wonder I see so many cars running around with mismatched bumpers and accident damage.
