Some folks told me to tell my insurance company and they will pay to have it removed.

Others tell me to take it to a shop but my hood would have to be replaced and any other part of the car that was hit (basically the shell of the car)

While some have told me to just leave it alone. There is nothing that I can do.

what should I do? suggestions?

  1. if it bothers you have it fixed, tell insurance.


  2. WATCH OUT!  I talked to my insurance company about this and they totalled my car.  They sent me a check for the "totalled ammount" which wasn't even close to the ammount I needed to fix the dammage, so I bought tires with it.  Honestly, you should fix this out-of-pocket or leave it alone, because once your car is totalled, there isn't a whole lot insurance can do for you for cosmetic stuff.  I'd say that if you have the kind of dimples that you can only see if you are on the right angle, let em be.  It's REALLY hard for an auto body shop to fix this, and it's pricey.  Instead, invest in some kind of covered parking.  That's not always good enough, my car was dammaged while I was at work in an open parking lot, but do what you can do.  I wouldn't bother with insurance on this one.

  4. hello i'm italian.....can i chatt whit you?????????rix please

  5. call your insurance and then you will have to get an estimate from a couple of body shops and send them to your insurance and they will send you a check to get it fixed.

  6. you can do paint-less dent removal which requires access to the underside of the panel that is dented then a roller is rolled over each dent until it is rolled out... sometimes very light tapping from a tapping hammer will work but it is tedious, you cannot hammer too hard or you would create a dent in the other direction or possible creases where the metal flexes....There are such paint-less dent removal services, try googling it in your area, you may be surprised... I've seen this demonstrated and it works great for small dents like hail damage... Good Luck
