Massive Door Ding - No Sentry

[JLascomb]

Hey all - first time poster. Have had my model 3 for four years now and first body damage issue. Left my car parked at the airport and some truck next to me slammed his door into my side. Pretty bad dent/paint came off. Of course I had sentry mode off. Anyone have experience on what this might cost/where best to go for repair? Any and all help appreciated - thanks!

Had this fixed by a mobile repair for just under $400.

Morrison Corp. 954-990-3417. They guys who worked on my bumper were Rolando & Geraldo.

That bumper repair isn't applicable as its plastic. The door skin is aluminum which means it will stretch as a material when dents are pulled. That said small/light dents and be pushed back however creases and deep dents will stretch the metal so be careful going that route. For big repairs you'd need a proper oven etc, google it. And with that much paint missing it looks like a respray anyways...

Respray and quarter panel and other door blend. If done at a good shop, it will actually come out better than OEM US gigafactory paint.
