i noticed a very small scratch (half inch) and dent on my left passenger door.
the car was parked at the go station parking lot, so i assume someone hit me with their door.

it is not a big deal, but i'd like to have it fixed, because my car is only 11 months old.

the scratch is only about half inch long and the dent is very small, but still noticeable.

do you guys think it's worth fixing it and how much would it cost?
do you have any recommendations?
colour of my car is listed as "metallic black".

i was thinking of purchasing a touch up paint from the dealer and doing it myself, but i'm afraid i'm gonna make it even worse.

thanks.

If you don't mind waiting... Kevin is the best at this sort of stuff and very affordable. He fixed dents on my car and did an amazing job. I called him @ the end of June and he told me he was very busy for 2 Months. So if you can wait give him a call @ the start of September.

Here's the link to his Review Thread

Any pics of the scratch? Does your fingernail get caught in the scratch?

i can't find a way to upload the picture on this forum, only url link.

i don't think the scratch is deep enough for a fingernail to get cought.
i mean, it's no big deal, i just don't like looking at it because the car is almost brand new.

This is the exact same thing that happend to me in the same place. my side molding was scratched and a small dent by the door handle.. my car was less than a year old. if you're worried about the scratch try the turtle wax swirl and scratch remover, it took off the white marks from my scratch and isnt as noticable anymore. as for the dent, if you find a good price to get it fixed i would love to hear it, its small but still annoying to see
