Re: Parking lot damage
I guess that is a call only u can make. If that is the only problem with the car and you can get it fixed with little or no money out of you pocket, I would do it.
Having that crease at that point, it will not just pop out. I pulled a dent out once with a toilet plunger.

Re: Parking lot damage
Scheduled my repair for the day after Christmas, the quote is $1,200 and 10 hours of work. Feels kind of weird to fixing a dent in the quarter panel when there is rust on the rear of that same panel.

It should be way cheaper than a seporate bill.

Re: Parking lot damage
+1. They'll have to blend the whole panel anyway. Just toss them a few more bucks to repair it all the way.

For now they are going to sand it down and coat it with rust converter then smooth it out. It is pretty much guaranteed that the bubbling will return, but it will be a little cleaner than it was for a while anyhow.

Re: Parking lot damage
It was $1100 he pulled put the dents and touched up a rust spot behind the wheel. Repainted the quarter panel. Pretty straight forward repair.

Re: Parking lot damage
Why not just buy 2 new 1/4 panels and have them painted?

Because I had a budget.
