2014 maxima ,,well just want to know if any of you guys had an experience
with a minor door ding happening from some ******* in a parking lot being
careless for opening a door causing a ding which got me upset,,dunno whodonit
but can it be repaired without a major body work,,, if so would it look perfect
or show a slight scar ,,,did anyone get this resolved by a professional
ding mechanic,,the ding is the size of a small dimple but noticeable if looked
closely,,

 

Yeah...I just got my door fixed for a similar issue. The body shop guy that I've gone to for over 30 years is just a guru...fantastically skilled. He examined the damage, told me the ideal way to fix it was to re-skin the door, for about $800.
Or...
He'd pull the dent out and repaint the damaged area only, blending it in carefully for $255.

I chose the latter. The repair is invisible...like it never happened. BUT...it takes a truly skilled person to do this, or else you'll see the repaired area, ESPECIALLY on a door.

 

It's called "paint-less dent repair".

I typically have my car given the once over every couple of years.

 

Oh, true...if the damage is just a little dent or ding, "paintless" can be awesome.

Unfortunately in my case, it was far more intensive. But in the case of the o.p., it'd definitely be worth a try.

 

got that ding dimple repaired today at the dealership and it looks like
nothing happened ,,great job took 15 minutes

 

How much did it set you back? I have a couple ding dimples that are very small but stand out on that shinning door.
