Gonna need to visit the body shop again

Crazy thing is, I normally park it all the way to the end of the driveway. I parked it where it is thinking it'll be safer in case a tree branch fell from a huge oak tree off screen to the right. Had I parked it as usual, my Mav would have been ok.

Wow, that looked like a small branch. I always worry where I’m parked when a storm or hurricane comes through

Was gonna say, big dents for a smallish branch. Oak is some pretty heavy hardwood tho, and that branch came whipping in damn fast.

Looks PDRable.

PDRable?

I just hope my insurance doesn't total it

Seriously, look into paintless dent removal in your area. They are doing incredible things now with dent removal. I had it done on my Mustang years ago and you couldn't tell. The plus is that you avoid the entire color match process that NEVER comes out looking right.

Aah, gotcha. Will look into that. Thanks.

Or glass half full... You're now part way to stippling your car like a golf ball for even more aerodynamic MPG.

Paintless Dent Repair. As long as the paint is not broken. Call a local place and send a photo…it may be a few hundred but no paint work….

I bet its under $500 for PDR and no paint work.
Look into some shops in your area. They can do some amazing work.

Nah!!! Probably $4 less than your deductable.

...that branch came whipping in damn fast...

Perhaps it was a downburst, which would "throw" the branch toward the ground with greater impact than if it simply fell to the ground.

18 years ago I did this with the tail end of an adjustable wrench on my tailgate. Had no clue I was doing PDR.

Not really hard... save yourself a couple hundo and add a tool to the toolbox in the process.

Its no wonder everything is overly expensive now a days. We convince everyone that things should only be attempted by a "professional" and that it requires specialty tools that mere mortals can't use or afford.

This should really be called "how to rub one out". To help you realize that it can be easy, fun, and you can likely use what ya have lying around if you're creative! You'll also be left with a deep feeling of satisfaction after. Non-gender specific.

Last time I was in HF I saw some 1 1/2" or 2" suction cups that you could get at least one finger through after the clamp was closed. But your dent looks like it needs to be attacked by an experienced PDRererer.
