Really sad day in our house. Parking our 3 month old MY (only ~2000 miles on it) in a really tight parking garage, and rubbed up against a column. A bunch of scratches and some paint damage. Passenger side front and rear door decently dented.
I'm not so concerned about the scratches and paint - they are minor enough or located such that I feel pretty comfortable about doing an at home paint touch up.
However the real problem for me is the dented doors. They still close tightly but I think they look awful. We took to a tesla certified shop and they state the only true fix is to replace both doors, repaint the whole side, etc etc which would run upwards of $10k.
Obviously not something you'd pay out of pocket. However I had the hardest time getting car insurance - moved out of NYC recently when we bought the car and had not had car insurance coverage while living there - so hardly any companies would even OFFER insurance and those that did were at an astronomical price ($400-$500 per month). Finally found a good deal / decent rate with Costco Car Insurance. But am now concerned that if I submit a claim, insurance rates will go way up, and there isn't really any alternative insurance co I can go to......
Long story short - Really dont want to replace the doors. Is this something PDR could fix? I dont even need it to be perfect, but would be great to get the majority of the dent out....
