Had to have happened at the dealer. Car was covered in snow so I didn't see it. Koons has been great... will be paying for it to be fixed here in Georgia. I hope "paintless dent repair" can fix a dent on a body line like this. Hoping nothing more invasive needed.

I literally got home from my road trip from there (at 4AM thanks to the f'ing weather) and parked it in the garage with no other cars, driving my other car until I sold it yesterday. Went to go to the store and BAM I see the dent with the garage lights on. All kids of F's were proclaimed. Pretty sure it was the lady who parked next to my car when it was staged loading up her kid in the back seat... makes sense given how she parked next to it. :mad:

Yes, I know I need a wash. Drove through a snow storm and parked it. Construction at my house, can't wash it. So sue me. Haha...

It right on the feature line but it should pull out just fine with PDR. The paint looks fine and not chipped.

Hope so...

I prefer my dents to be on the passenger side...

I had an '02 GT in black. Had a dent twice that size, right on the wheel well arch edge. PDR got it out in 10 min, no evidence it was ever there.

Thanks god for PDR.

I'd like to see an after picture.

I thought it wasn't possible to do paintless dent removal on a body line? I went to have it done on my car a couple of years ago and the tech said to me, "No deal; Can't be done using PDR."

I got 2 dents on mine before 7k.

both from haters, 1st time I turned back around after they threw something, Was gonna get down and mess him up, but he pulled out a gun, So I swerved off.

2nd time, I went around the block blocked the street and walked around with my Glock 23 in my waist, But the dude was gone already.

I wouldn't of done anything, Just a little scare to prevent peoples property from getting damaged.

Have yet to fix it, But I will soon.

That sucks. I got a dent just like that (different spot just a tad bit) and got quoted $630 from a collision center to fix it, lulz. Someone here suggested a PDR and I got linked up with one. Got it out in 10 minutes, $75.

I'm supposed to have the dealer handle it with their PDR person. Apparently new cars you buy often have been repaired by a PDR guy and you'd never know, according to my dealer. He said it'd be around like $50 and they'll pay it. I'm going to have it taken care of when I bring the car in to have the shift clunk looked at. Want to make sure that my complaint about this is documented and I have to have a door panel fixed (vinyl coming off by door handle on driver's side a little bit, not cool). So get it all done at once. Highly doubt they're going to give me a freakin' loaner so I'll be stuck.

I will say the first time I ever parked in any parking lot I got very small ding. 1 day new at that point. White Toyota minivan. I had parked on the end of a row and left a mile of space. They pulled in at an angle only Toyota drivers can seem to accomplish and managed to make contact with their door. It's a tiny ding but I know it's there.

Also as delivered I had a ding protruding up from the trunk lid. ?? No internal markings of any kind. Dealer and PDR gone in minutes.

You'll be fine.

Thank God for PDR.

X2 for this.

I had a ding from my mom-in-law that was really bad. She said the wind opened her door into mine. It was so forceful it chipped the paint. PDR guy came to my house, bought the touch up paint from the Ford dealership in the way and in an hour and a half made it disappear. Seriously, if I showed you where it was you wouldn't be able to tell it was there.
