Default Please help me

I am infuriated.

I come tonight to find a suitcase in my garage fallen on the left front fender on my car!!!!

Worst of all it left a dent, yes your heard me, a dent!!!

The dent isnt THAT big but it still bothers me, a lot!

Its about the size of the spoon part of a spoon but not as deep. If your are confused go to the kitched and take a spoon out and look at it. Trust me, it will clear things up.

Anyways, Id like to know how much of a bitch this is for a body shop to take out and how much it will cost.

Sorry for my insanity but I need my car perfect!

I had 3 small little dents, from sizes to dimes to quarters. I called Dent Pro, and they came to my house and sucked those dents right out. Looks BRAND NEW. WELL worth the money.

My buddy used a Ding King on his DX for a couple dings right before they painted and they came out looking great. Took like 5 minutes or less for two dings.
On dings located on the body that you can actually "touch" the back of the ding (you may have to remove the door panel or trunk lining to get to these spots) use a Tablespoon (nothing smaller) and with the curved end of the spoon rub the backside of the ding (not to hard) until you see the ding slowly disappear.

Make sure you either warm up the area the ding is in, or be lucky enough to live in an area where the temp. is about 80 degrees. Its amazing how thin the metal is on cars today.

Put this out on another post recently but thought it may help here.
