Truck got a boo-boo... any auto body experts?
Truck got a boo-boo... any auto body experts?
Before you ask, I have no idea what happened. All I know is one morning my door was not bashed in, the next morning it was. I wasn't going to turn it in to insurance and just get it repaired, but after seeing what a door costs and not wanting to risk a shoddy repair I'm reconsidering. My goal is to get a quality repair AND not have my insurance raised. That said, does this look fixable? The seam between front/back door is off in one spot, but it might come back into place when the dent is pulled. I is really PISSED about this and would like to get it fixed ASAP, any input is appreciated.


it's blurry, but notice how the front door is pushed in compared to the back door

Dang Chase, that's some damage. You almost sound like a 16 year old telling Dad "I don't know how that happened". Maybe the extended family of the deer you took out with the tempo had some revenge.
I'm no auto body expert, but that looks like more than just pulling a dent to me. I would think you're cheapest alternative would be to find the same color door at a wrecking yard. Time to let your fingers do the walking.
Edit: Beat by 3 different people.
Still have to work on those typing skills.

$650 for a door at the one yard I called... after hearing that I totaled my shorts, dropped the phone and proceeded to puke my guts out.

You could skin it, but I agree with Benny, these trucks are a dime a dozen. Chances are you could find one to match. There's a local yard here with several late model PSD's. Doors are usually less than a hundred bucks...

This happened (was noticed) last Friday and I just got home last night... been trying not to think about it. Mas cerveza por mi!
