I got a dent in my roof from a hickory nut and called a paintless dent repair place. Dont remember the name but google it. There are a few. It will be $100 and they will come to your house. I dont think they can fix the scratches though. You can try buffing those out and use touchup paint.

You may try a pop a dent kit. I have successfully used them on door dents if they are not too small. Did not work on roof dent so I had to call a paintless place.

It doesn't look like it went through your paint, which is good. Get a good polishing compound and try to get out the dark marks. Then bring it to a paintless dent shop. For around $100 they should be able to get that out.

Dark marks are through the paint

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I'll never live long enough to understand why some people are such careless asshats.

tccox · 08-01-2015, 02:11 PM

Took a second look and luckily, looks like marks will buff out. Dent removal guy is coming Wednesday. Don't know what I hate more, Folks who have no problem opening their doors into yours or folks who are too lazy to put up shopping carts so they roll into your car

Ouch, I feel your pain as I've had three in 1 year. I park in the worst lot at work and have no other choice for parking.
Here's an example of the asshats that park there:

Obviously, the asshat parked that way on purpose. I fail to understand such sorry attitudes. Maybe you could get that POS car towed.

I have a ding on my roof too but was told that it can't be popped out

I'm told that the airbag is in the way of pushing the dent out.

Do you have a moonroof?

Knightelf · 08-01-2015, 06:57 PM

I have had 3 door dings in different car parks as well as a dent on the bonnet during my 3 months of ownership, so you are lucky to have lasted that long

good thing PDR sorted it all out...

I do have a moonroof. My dent was toward the back near the shark fin. He pulled it with ease.

Did he pull the dent out from the outside?

I need to get on that too then. I was afraid dents wouldn't be able to be pulled out from the outside. And access from the inside would have been hard since I have the moonroof delete.

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? My dent looks like a baseball fell on the car.

Guy who's coming Wednesday quoted me $75-$100. And looks like I am going to have to do a wee bit of touch up on the paint after he's done
