Yeap, like I oisted before I had a dent and the Dent Dr, repaired for $75.

However that damage might cost more, but try it first. Most of them are mobile and don't charge a service or tax fee. They have a Nationwide website.

do a paintless dent repair. it seems that there are not scratches and its good to do it. or do it yourself with a towel and a pry bar by taking the panels apart. good luck!

PDR is right. that's more like a $300+ job, i thinks if done at a reputable shop.

do yourself a favor and DONT touch it, let the pro's do it. the more angles you accidentally put in there the harder it is for the tech to fix.

AGREED!!!!!! Let a pro fix it before you make it worse, no offense, but don't touch it.

I agree do not attempt the repair yourself it will make it impossible for a PDR tech to repair. From looking at the pics it may be possible to repair via PDR the tricky part wil be the wheel arch area as body line significantly strengthen the metal making PDR difficult also that area has limited tool access due to the inner wheel well meeting the outer sheetmetal.

thats a bad day!

You can try a hair dryer and Compressed air! It wont hurt the paint, worth a try!

. You'll get it back as new and forget about it, don't worry too much about it because this is exactly what that idiot tried to achieve -> to piss you off.

yes this kinda thing sucks bigtime and the worst part of it is if you catch the pricks and give them a beating, the law will come down on their side. Or you could restrain them and they claim excessive force you're screwed in the eyes of our law. the law is to blame for a part of this too.

Did you piss anyone off at work?

KingZee · 06-22-2010, 03:12 AM

When I had my A4 years ago I noticed a very similar dent on the front fender at a car wash right after the car was washed. I was convinced that they had done it but when we reviewed the tapes we didn't see anything that could've happened. I wonder if these cameras are setup so that they don't catch these things? lol...In reality it's probably the dirt covering up the dent though, once it's washed it stands out.

That's on the drivers side though, you didn't notice that huge thing before getting into the car?

Sucks either way, hope they can remove that without major work.

I had the same results - didn't work for me, but it was a rather large q-panel dent.

tjlazer · 06-22-2010, 11:59 AM

Take it to a pro PDR, they will fix that up no problem...

Smallywood · 06-22-2010, 02:22 PM

Someone cleaning your car decided to lean against your fender while washing the rocker panel or bumper near the bottom, the weight of their fat caused the fender to push in. Definately looks like a dent from a lazy fat car wash worker...
