Ouch. I almost damaged my door today, but that would have been a tree at the off-road park. Got through with little if any damage though. Sorry to hear about yours.

 

Depending on the level of damage and where it is located, a PDR tech can many times fix it like new if the paint is not broken.

I had a small door dent on the edge of my passenger side door from sitting on the lot too long before I bought mine and I had a PDR guy remove it. It's amazing what these guys can do.

 

Damn everyone's jeep is getting hit.

 

reasons like this are why I am the ONLY one to drive my Jeep. plus I dont trust anybody to know how to drive properly it being slammed

 

I totally understand. Wifey got rear-ended in Bullwinkle (our new-to-us 2014 Patriot) earlier this week. She's OK, and that's the important part -- hope your GF is, OK too. Maybe she feels worse about it that you do.

 

Damn, sorry to hear that. Glad she's okay that the most important part. The damage on the car can always be fixed.

 

 

Before you go to a body shop that will try to convince you that you need a new panel and a multi panel paint blend that never matches from my experience, check to see if a PDR tech in your area can fix it.

I have seen damage similar to that (and even worse) posted online that was removed by PDR.

 

Today I got a quote for the damage, $1,700ish. that seems so high to me....does it look like I really need a new door? I was hoping the dents could just be pulled.

 

You would need a new door skin. I had similar damage on mine and they replaced the outer sheet metal.

 

My compass had $4100 for a slight hit on the passenger front...........its sad how little impact it takes to cause a lot of damage to these vehicles.

 

PDR tech might be able to get it looking better but would probably need to replace the whole panel to make it look like new. As soon as you start bending and creasing metal the paint likes to chip and flake off. A little mud and dirt should cover it up nicely...
must have gotten a stick jammed into the side, couldn't open the door until I took a crobar to the inside of the panel...Almost $300 for a new fender as the shipping is ~$100, might see if a PDR place can make it a little less visible some day.

 

That's wrecking it? LOL

That's like saying, "I had such a horrible day" and then you see this guy;

 

After a while you will forget your dent and never forget the ones who got you there. Love often and forgive always.

 

Yeah, it's almost definitely gonna need a new door skin. If a tech tries to pop that out, you're going to have a crease right above the Patriot symbol where the door angles back a little.

Sorry to hear about that, 480...just as long as everyone is alright.
