I'll be sure to call this guy again when I get more dings in the future. He's pretty cheap considering most places around UC Irvine charge $100+ for the same service ($65 for mine).
UC Irvine is way too busy there.....plus bunch of construction there right now right? I remember the six years I was there with my 95 Accord sedan.......hard to find even one parking space in the morning.....

Anyway, yea I did get over my first ding after like a few days but I just had to get it fixed since my car isn't even a year old (3months almost).

When I came out of the grocery store the car was gone, but there was a shopping cart just a few inches from my driver's side door (wtf). I mean, they could have put the cart anywhere, but the jackasses decided to put it just a few inches from my car. Luckily the cart didn't actually hit my car b/c there weren't an dings or scratches, but still....some people can be so inconsiderate.

Everyone gets on my case for parking in the farthest remote corner of a parking lot. But......

I'm glad you were able to get your dent out! The car dealer gave me a card from Dent Wizard Paintless Dent Removal for 1st Ding Free ($99 value ) Like Kensteele said it is for the first 90 days. I hope to h*** I don't have to use it!

Ever hear of dingdefenders?
I was looking for something magnetic that I could attach to the doors when I could not find an out of the way parking space--I found this company and ordered their product. Anyone else hear of them?

That's pretty cool that they offered some of you 1 free dent removal coupons. I didn't get one of those when I bought my car. I'm praying that I don't get one anytime soon. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of if you'll get one, but when.
