I leased a 2022 Chevy Equinox in August, 2022. Two weeks later some asshat slammed his car door…read moreinto mine (while I was in the office at work) and created a dent. Not a big dent, but it was literally a Brand New Car and some idiot decided not only to dent it, but to not leave a note or anything.
The dent wasn't, like, huge or anything, but it was on the driver's door, so every time I got in the car I'd see it. After enough time passed and I had enough extra cash, I decided to get it fixed. I drive by the Dent Doctor pretty regularly, so it was a no-brainer.
I emailed the Dent Doctor a couple pictures of the dent and they sent me a ballpark quote of $150 to fix it. Easy enough.
They generally book a couple weeks out, so when my appoint came along I was there at 8:15 a.m. Kaden was busy working on someone else's car, so I said "Hey, I can just sit and wait". He said there was no need, that the other car could wait, and by 8:25 my car was in the building being worked in.
I figured it would take an hour to an hour-and-a-half, but I brought my laptop so I could work while the dent was being tended to. They've got a small waiting room in the lobby with a table and a couple chairs. I didn't need a lot of room to work and that was just fine.
Imagine my surprise when, at 8:55, Kaden walked out and said "Ok, you're all set!" Holy WOW! I was not expecting it to be done in, literally, 30 minutes.
I settled my $150 repair charge and I was on my way. Total time on site was less than 45 minutes and there is, 100%, no sign of the dent any more (see my Before and After photos).
I know it was a 'me' thing more than it was a necessity and didn't impact the care at all, but it tasked me, so I had to do it. Besides, it was only $150 to make the car look like a million bucks again.
Thanks, Dent Doctor! I know who I'll be calling on if I need a dent fixed again!
