Parked my car for about 20 minutes last Thursday. Came back to find this. "Fortunately" no paint damage, no scuffs etc.. Rear nearside door. I can't figure out how it would happen? If someone had kicked it they must have removed their shoes.:rolleyes:It definitely is at random passing by kick level?

Paintless dent repair is certainly a dark art! Pulling and pushing as necessary. He didn't need to remove the inner door panel but accessed through where the cables enter at the door's front edge. About an hour and one mug of tea to fix.

Probably somebody reversed back a tad too much and "pushed" it in with a bumper edge or similar plastic component, still a pain in the rrr's!!  If you have a decent paintless dent man, he is worth his weight in gold 👍

It was in a car park. Probably relying on their rear camera and rear parking sensors.:ph34r: He certainly is Kingo. I have used him before when my Daughter opened her car's door and inflicted a dent above the rear wheel arch of mine. That is particularly difficult because it's double skinned there. He persevered, was not 100% happy and knocked £10 off the price. I think he used almost every tool from his van. I defy anyone to detect where it was.

I recently sold a car (not a Toyota..) and the buyer subsequently used a dent repair guy to get rid of 2-3 small dents that had been caused by giant hailstones a few years ago, I'd never got them fixed. He sent me a quick video of the guy at work - wow, so impressive to see! 😲

As I wrote, Robin, it's certainly a dark art! I have watched some YTube videos of them "fixing" really complex and severe dents.

As Kingo writes, if you find a good one hang on to their contact details.
