Hit and run :(

So two nights I changed all my rotors and pads, put my summer wheels back on, put my tuned computer back in, and I was ready for the nice weather. Yesterday during my lunch break I was excited to get my car washed. I did, went back to work, and parked my car in my job's lot. I work at a bank. I go out an hour later for a cigarette break to find that someone hit my car. Before anyone says "CHECK THE CAMERAS!", there were none! No ******* cameras facing the parking lot. Anyway, it wasn't too bad. There was a shitload of dust so I just wiped it off. I compounded and polished all the scratches out now there are just 3 medium sized dents.

Anyone know how much it usually costs to maybe get some dents taken out? If they even can be? I got hit on my driver's side door. I took pictures yesterday. I can upload some when I get home from work.

150 isn't too bad. Yeah, my car is black. I'd really rather not buy a whole new door if I don't have to. I'm gonna check around some local shops and get some estimates. I hate this. UGHHH

Yeah, I don't even want to go through the trouble and deal with insurance. My friend who works at a body shop said I can't even file for it now since I compounded out the scratches myself. Anyone know if this is true or not?

Depending on how big they are, you might be able to take a plunger and pop them out yourself

Dude I was ******* furious. Trust me. I'm glad it wasn't as bad as I thought though. At least the scratches buffed out and I don't have to get anything painted.

I can't help picturing some old decrepit woman who can barely see trying to park and just plowing through my car.

Haha It could've been the Integrity sticker or my friends band's sticker which has an upside down cross and a dead rat on it. She could've been super religious and did it on purpose. haha But yeah man.. I never thought it'd happen to me but it did and it blows. :/

Gross, dude. Plungers are meant for unclogging shitty toilets.

THEY DO make this thing called a dent wizard i think they sell them at autozone... idk if they work. one that does have some bearing with me is another autoparts store thing its like a little suction cup basically and depending on the dent it can pull them out
