Sorry guys but this hurts.
Parked nicely between two cars- one handicap and one regular spot- Came back to my car after shopping at Walmart to find a 4inch door ding on the body line passenger door. Any idea of should I attempt to fix it or any Long Island NY body shops recommended? All member feedback is appreciated during this difficult time. |

I know I'm "that guy" but I try to double park near the back of the lots, just for that reason.
if you fix, then I suggest you pay the extra $1-2k and get a full 3M paint protection film wrap as a coatings to keep dings and rock chips from banging it up. |

That's a real bummer. I would say to invest in a PDR, get the dent pushed back out. That way if you repaint down the line, the bondo used will be minimal. And in the meanwhile, you can run some touchup paint after PDR down that line. I've had better success hiding chips that run along body lines than in the middle of the panel.

Hate Walmart parking lots. I park all the way to the other end where traffic is less. The closer you park to the store entrance, better chances of dents as cars keep moving in and out around your's. I learned the hard way with my 1 day old 911. Parked nicely in front of Macy's and found a 1" round dent on passenger door. No paint damage but PDR wasn't easy for the aluminum panel. Also, I don't park on slopes and near those cart ports.
PDR and touch up is what I would do for now. I feel the pain, it'll be there for few weeks. |

On second hand handicapped spots I would avoid. If there is really handicapped person there is a reason why they need more space so parking beside one can be surprising. |
