My first door ding and DIY fix results

[ValenciaOrange]

I parked my Maverick and noticed several days later that someone opened their door on my truck door. I even had moulding and it did not help. Passenger side. Crease in door.

The ding probably happened as I parked closer than I usually do to other vehicles. I had no other choice that day. I usually park away from other vehicles.

I remembered I bought a dent removal kit from Amazon. I tried it and to my surprise I got 80 percent of the dent out, but that other 20 percent really bothered me. Yesterday I went to the Dent Man, paid $100.00 to have the dent repaired. Thirty minutes later, the side looked perfect. To me it was worth $100.00 to not ever have to look at that dent.

Parking further away from other cars.

Picture is after I worked on the dent. Do not have a picture of repaired dent, but it is perfect.

I finally got one of these "love kisses" from an unknown coworker at work. I'm keeping it for a while. I'm actually relieved. I never had a new vehicle before, and the thought of anything happening to it was giving me heartburn. I can relax now.

$100 is very cheap and worth it. We need a dent man where I live.

Who would change the title of my post. I know I did not write . “DIY fix results”. Can a moderator change the wording in your post?

$100 sounds like a great deal! I like to turn these problems over to the "Pros from Dover." I bought a $50 "scratch repair" kit on Amazon for my silver XL, after reading about it on this forum, but I am scared to death to try it. Hopefully, I won't have to.
