    Default hit and run

    Looks like someone backed out of their driveway and hit it across the street. I can't be sure if thats what it was, who it was, and I have no witnesses. I really have no way of accusing anybody so while very upset I just left.

    Besides taking it to a shop and getting charged more then what I would pay for a new door, do I have any other options?

    Anybody have any experience? Don't suppose I could take apart the door and give it a good swift kick from the other side?







    Would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks.

    it look slike just the door... so you can find another door and have it sprayed.. then install it yourself.

    Yeah, not insured to take care of this.

    I was lucky it was only the door.

    Would really like to just keep this door. I know a new one is always an option, but the paint isn't even scratched!

    With a crease like that, you're looking at taking it to a pro. If you don't keep your sneakers in your toolbox your foot is not a tool

    Of course you could always consider this an opportunity to brush up on your hammer and dolly skills, but I'd just take it to a pro.

    I guess the only way I could make it worse is if I poped that black rubber bump protector off and couldn't get it back on.

    Painless dent repair will not be able to fix this REAL dent... Get another door and put it in... hopefully same color.
