Dent and DIng on the Acura TSX

Did anybody get a ding or dent since they bought the TSX? Did you fix it? How did you fix it?

PDR (paintless dent repair) is the only way to go when repairing door dings. Count on $75-100/panel with up to 4 dings/panel allowed. I tried the DIY Ding King - did OK but did not remove all of the ding.

I have one on my passenger door right now...just a small dent that you can barely see unless you are looking at the right angle. I haven't gotten it fixed yet, and don't know when or if I will, as another one will probably just replace it as soon as it gets fixed.

Ding

I got one just above and behind the gas refuel door! Right where there's an outward crease in the body so it is very noticeable...I hate having the drive the TSX to work b/c this happens alot there.
Anyway I got a quote from my local Acura dealer and the cost was $100. That was for 2 dents. I haven't even found the second dent yet. So it pretty much boils down to $50 a dent from Acura. I will get quotes from some other local repair shops to compare against Acura.
Cheers
Todd

I got a Ding on the bottom part of the right rear door. I am thinking of whether I should fix it. I just received the Ding King I bought from ebay today. I would like to try it first before I take my car to any shop. Somebody has told me about the Dent Pro(http://www.dentpro.com/) . DentPro has 51 franchises and 135 trained technicians located in 10 states. I have sent them emails but they never reply my emails. I did want to forget about the ding but it really bothers me everytime I drive the TSX. The ding seems has destroyed the beautiful line of the TSX. I hate it.

I finally used the Ding King last nite. It somehow made the ding less obvious on my TSX. So, I would say it works 75%. At least the ding is not that noticeable now. I think I can live with that for now.
