Hi,

It looks like someone slammed their door into my passenger side door leaving a pretty big dent. I can't stand looking at it, but I do know that fixing it the best way will probably mean getting a paint job in that area. I have used paintless dent removal, and while it was good for the small ding, I don't think it would look as good with this much bigger dent.

Would painting the area great reduce resale value? Will people be able to tell that there was work done in that area? And finally, can anyone suggest a good place in nyc to fix it?

Thanks so much!

 

Not if you don't say anything and it's done really well... Check local forums for last ?.

 

if you run it thru your insurance it will appear in the Carfax and will lower the resale price for the car.

 

you might want to check out a company like - dent wizards depending on size of dent and if there is any paint damage they can fix it for minimal cost, the same thing happened to me, he fixed it good as new for $40 , the most I could see them chargin you is $ 70- $80 even up top in NY

 

I had a PDR guy fix a dent the size of a tennis ball in my fender - you might be surprised.

Anyway, when I had the hood and front bumper repainted on my car, I made sure the receipt said "repainting under warranty" so I can show it to a buyer.

 

take it to daytona cosmocar. they do awsome detailing work. the car will come out looking like new. i had a couple of dents on my other cars done there. these guys work with bmw of manhattan and all the high end cars like ferraris and lambos.
