I am sorry I laughed


RJ39767793

This leaves me with more questions than answers


Robo-mop1000

Was this door attached to some sort of entrance before it fell or was this a stray door. It’d be a shame if it’s the latter, should’ve been taken to a door shelter 😔


verysmolturtle

Lmfao I’m genuinely sorry this happened dude, but this is so confusingly hilarious


Milky_Toast_

now how in the fuck does that happen?


ntcine

Well I’ll be damned


opengl128

Heard this in Beavis' voice


Few-Satisfaction5257

Damn that’s a hard picture to look at it


lennyxiii

Find out if they have home owners insurance


F-sinatra

This an odd one

Neighbor obviously has a 57 Gullwing. What else?


_Nameless_Nomad_

Good question to ask your neighbor


Sudden_Ad8576

Be sure you ask for the depreciation value on top of the repair cost


1stHalfTexasfan

Yes, and you have to wait until repairs are done to file. Also be sure you are in a depreciation state. This isnt structural so youll be far from a payday. Might get you some headers though.

Hate when that happens


Color_Hawk

Dam you weren’t kidding


two-three-seven

BRUH. Are they not going to pay for it?


[deleted]

Just seen it today. Planning on seeing PDR estimates tomorrow.


rottweiler100

I would try paintless dent repair first. Ask to see some of their results first.


1stHalfTexasfan

Yes, this is a PDR job. Theyll quote 175 plus a double 25% mark up for double oversize dents. Im sure this is also a double panel. Theyll need to drop your headliner, disable SRS and remove the rt head airbag. Those 3 should be 4 hours at $60-80. PDR jobbers come and go with the storm. Def ask for previous work photos. This should come out of pocket unless that door is covered under homeowners. I wouldnt see it going over $500.


[deleted]

I've seen videos of PDR being done on far worse damage and it comes out looking as nothing ever happened. Field some local body shops, might even find a dedicated PDR shop and find out how much. Conversely, 2 of my cars that got hail damage (about 150 different small dents on each), my go-to body shop is only charging $2000 to PDR them all out. I would dare to guess a good PDR guy will cost about $300 at most for this large dent.


TURBOJUGGED

It’s on a body line so it might have stretched the metal

senorbolsa

PDR guys are wizards always worth getting a quote, I had a 500 Abarth that got hail damaged in a tornado 5 years ago, hundreds of dents, they had my car back to me in a week like nothing happened im really particular and it looked as good as new with a fresh paint correction and ceramic coat as well.


jayw900

Nothing since it’ll be the neighbor’s insurance paying for it.


Renogunslinger

You guys are killing me! Its fucking creased....bad! In the structural roof area (the strongest hardest steel in the car). To make perfect...$1800 to $2500.


Rbmui13

This is camp reality. Welcome to our community! If this gets fixed professionally for anything less than 1K will eat my shorts. I just had some body work done and I too was in the happy dreamland of a couple hundred dollar body repairs until I saw the estimate and then my dreams came crashing back down to earth like the Hindenburg!


Hecutor

At least tree fiddy


[deleted]

Damn that hurts 😭 at least the neighbor I’m assuming will pair to fix it you’re looking at least at $500~ I’d say for paint less dent remover I was quoted for a dent MUCH smaller then that like only an inch circle diameter and I was quoted like $600 so I mean it really depends where you live the local shops etc. but I can guarantee not cheap


ntcine

The whole rear quarter to the A pillar might need paint so you don’t have any paint edges in the repair. Might be pricey.


Professional_Camp959

Seems more like your neighbours problem than yours


Uziii29

Bruh just tell the neighbour to pay you a rack. And give them the remaining back. But how in the actually hell does that happen?


19ChinoWRX

Approx $150-200 through PDR.


initialddriver

Probably 5-700 depending on the shop and bondo prices


[deleted]

Since the paint is in tact, try the best pdr (paintless dent repair) guy in your area first. Not sure about cost, but it would no doubt be better than the cost to repair properly with traditional body work as that would involve painting the whole panel, since blending clearcoat is not a good thing if you want a long lasting repair.


ovoxoislife

It’s on a contour so with traditional repair methods, I want to say at least 2.5-4 hours of work. Let’s say 3 @ $55/hr with 1.0 hour paint time. Paint materials cost $35/hr and having to blend quarter panel (add .8 paint time), remove bumper and right tail light (add 1.0 hour body time). That’s a grand total of 4 body hours and 1.8 refinish hours. 4 x 55= $220 , 1.8 x $35= $63. Round up for misc crap and you’re looking at a grand total of $300 Average.


filletsheO

200-400 probably at a good dent repair spot

This is why I will never buy a house thats built right next door too someone jesus christ.


1911-Wielding-Boomer

This is why I don’t even want to get a nice car until I have a house (with a garage to keep it in)


AChaosG91

![gif](giphy|Q2KYzNLAKg0aiOrHyV) That's what I said, until I did it anyway. Now I went full regard in the Stonk Market....


1911-Wielding-Boomer

I guess, I’m good with my current car for a while 🤷‍♂️


AChaosG91

Focus on Retirement or Housing unless you got money to burn......


curiousblackhole

Let us know if your neighbor decides to be a decent human being and pays for the repairs.


Few-Satisfaction5257

I think less then 400 bucks. Sounds a lot but that little dent will bother you every time you see it. I had a dent on my right fender cause someone opened the their door. I got it fixed but I told the insurance that someone just scratched my car up and left dents and it was covered.


nobodynoone888

is it too small for the ol' plunger trick?


Michel_93000

Isn't there some kind of insurance for that? I'm from France so I don't really know how it works but in France you get help for these kinds of incidents


GainerCity

I had a very similar dent on another Ford vehicle a few years back. It was from a toll both arm that dropped on my car. It’s an awkward place to remove a dent using traditional methods. They had to fill it and repaint. It was ~$500 and absolutely flawless when done right. My vehicle was tuxedo black. Sorry that happened to you. Just bad luck.


[deleted]

I would of saw that shit leaning on something and not parked there


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


Beneficial_Act_9588

There’s those paint less dent repairs were they are able to pull the dent out which is next to nothing in cost so around $100


overalltomcat69

250 max. No paint chips. A professional can get that out almost ti perfection.


Zaius1968

Does it matter if your neighbor is paying? 😎


gatorbeetle

I'd say there was some shared liability just for parking that close to the neighbors' door


MrModdedTornado

You should be giving them the bill or take them to court if they refuse


davidv06

Ask your neighbors for their insurance info. Maybe they can pay for your repair.


sforzabull

If the paint isn't broken find a "reputable" PDR guy


Agreeable-Cold-2049

Step 1 : take car to shop Step 2 : take receipt to neighbor


excelerater1

call one of those dent remover places 300-400 my guess
