Default Dent issue (pics)

it happened on campus in the parking deck. i came out of class n saw the right side of my car scraped. no note or anything. just an empty space on the side it occurred. n the dent, well i dont even know how to explain the dent. dents usually go in but this one is coming out.
i took it to honda service and they said it would cost me $900. are u joking.... if i go anywhere else i dont want them to just bondo and spray paint it. n i cant use the traditional plunger cuz the dent is already out. i duno what to do with it. ive justt been waiting til someone hits me on that side so my insurance doesnt have to pay for it. heh.

i was thinking the same. i wish i had pics of it when it was freshly made. there were scratches all along that side. i cleaned it up a bit before i took those pics. i get upset just looking at it. at least it's on the passenger side so i dont have to look at it THAT often..[:'(]

you are parked tight on that white line brotha...are your spaces really tight at school? that sucks thought, i feel you...that's why i always try and park in a corner spot...the 1 time I was in a rush, i got back and huge dent in my passenger side door...still haven't had the time to fix it yet...they are the worst, it's like people don't care about your property...i was just thinkin, if you have some hit and run insurance on your ride i'd get that checked out through triple A or whatever...

I'd say take it to local shops and see what they come up with on price wise. If you're worried on price simply ask the shop what they'd do to fix it, most places will tell you what they'd do and if the price seems to good it might be...... The only lucky thing is the paint didn't get damaged so it's "safe" to let go for a while till you have the money saved up to take care of it..... I know your pain ma friend [&:]

what kind of insurance you got? You can claim it as vandalism and get it repaired for whatever your deductible is. I have a dent right above drivers side rear tire right on the curved area on an 06. on my policy vandalism is under comprehensive. so it doesn't raise my rates if i claim it.

that sux. probably the reason why its so much to fix is cause its right on the body line if it wasn't you could probably do a paintless dent removal which would cost about a 100 bucks

Ugh, I hate when this **** happens. I was at my school awhile back, and I was parked nicely ina cornerspot, and some grade 11 douche dinged my car. Good thing she didn't move her Alero. (just a warning,I have horrible road rage) oh god, the ding wasn't that bad, but she removed paint... and just the sheer nerve thatshe did that... not even a note... plus, she hit agrade 12's car haha.So, I opened my door HARD onto her car, and took my key to it. I know it sounds harsh, but it makes me soo angry when people do this. I have owned my car for about 2 months, and I've had at least half a dozen little mishaps like this so far. If I were you, I'd talk to the security and ask if there were anycameras in the parking lot. Because if there are, then they are liable and you have the proof so they have to fix your car.
