Angry Less than 900 miles and some ******* dented my door

I always choose my parking spots very carefully to minimize the chance that some idiot who doesn't know how to park will hit me when they park or get out of their car. I'm parked on my street at the last spot parallel and so only one person can park in front of me and that's all I gotta worry about. So I come out this morning and see someone scratched/dented my passenger side door (the side away from the street) right above and to the right of the door handle. A dent the size of a couple quarters and deep white scratches in my black paint. WTF?!? I've never had an issue with any car I've parked here and now I have this crap. What's involved in fixing this and how much is it going to cost me?

Google paintless dent repairs. That'll give you and idea of what you're looking for. Prices vary from place to place so they'll have to give you an idea of whats possible. Best of luck with the repairs though.
I'm in NY and I had a dent removed last year, they did a pretty good job when removing the dent then buffing the scrapes out. I really have to look for the dent in order to see it.

Mine was dented on the left fender at 600 miles, about the size of a softball, right across the fender body line and wheel well. No pull for me. What is strange, no scratches. What I think happended... The day I found it my garbage cans were tipped over, thought it was the wind. Two days later I hear some noises outside and go out to investigate and what do I come within 7' of? About a 400# black bear eating dinner out of my garbage cans. I am thinking, based on no paint marks, he scratched his *ss or something on my car.

I was bummed as hell. Geico wrote it up for $1200 to replace the fender, paint and blend and replace the clear bra where needed (hood and fender). Don't know what if the dealership will agree with that price but we shall see.

The good news is that you now know that black bear hides do not scratch our paint, so you can make nice wash mitts out of him.

I feel your pain buddy. I have a smal dent in my read bumper. And them some Ahole put scratches on the rear bumper again. And to top it off, some douche put a dent on my front bumper. God knows why? Haters maybe!!

Anyways, at least I have no dents on the sides of the car since I usually park about a couple of miles away from any other car in the parking lots! lol

Oh by the way, I decide to live with the dents and scratched for now but will get them fixes someday. The cost to fix them all is about $500.

Good luck!

Well they struck again. Same door panel. A very small, but deep white scratch. They probably just walk by and toss something at the car as they go on with their miserable, jealous lives. Oh well.
