Yeah I havent had my car a week and I found a small ding right below the driver side window yesterday. Its too high to be from a car door so I have no idea how it got there.

Anyone ever use Dent Wizard or any of those paintless dent repair services? Any luck? How much did it cost?

 

I got nailed big time a week after I got my B6 with an obviously intentional one. The paintless dent guy couldn't get it all because it was on a seam, but he made it better. But I've seen a guy work on dents (recent demonstration at local Audi dealer for an after-hours Audi Club event) and it's cool. I'd hit it. They range $100 - $150 around here, depending.

Good luck.

 

a little over $100 i think.

 

Found a little teeny one on the rear quarter panel Saturday morning. Kind of strange for a car that gets driven once a week to work and on Sundays to go house-hunting.

Just drove to the local Lexus dealer and they'll fix it tomorrow for $75. I wouldn't have worried about it much, but the car is two months old and doesn't even have 1500 miles on it.

It is maddening, though...I've been driving for 20+ years and have never dinged another car.

They are amazing...I would recommend using them...If there isn't any paint damage, you'll never know that there was a ding!

...8 years with my B5 and not a single one.

Park far...very far from everyone else!!!

 

Parking very, very, very far doesn't always help. I parked at the far end of the Sam's Club lot in Kingston, NY a few years a go with my 1-week old Altima - no one for at least 15-20 rows and hiled to the store thinking it was safe. Came out later and there was a 20-year old huge Ford 4-door pick-up, all rusted, etc. sitting right next to my new Altima with a horse trailer attached (horses in it). The pickup and rig wer so close to my driver's door I had to get in on the passenger side and climb over. There still was nobody else in that entire section of the lot, like he drove in and my car was invisible and he didnt even see it was there, parking pratically right on it. Funny thing, there was no damage to my car except the horse smell that stayed with it for a while. Never can figure stuff like that out - what am I, Mecca? I've had my 06 A4 2.0T w/Tip just 8 days and was on the Taconic Pkwy today, not another car in sight and suddenly a small pepple or something came up, hit the hood, bounced and hit the windshield. There was no other vehicle in sight so just some weird bad luck. I stopped to look and the windshield was fine, but there was a chip about 4 inches in front of where the wipers sit, it flew all the way back that far. I have a neighbor with an '87 Taurus over 200K miles and the car has never been hit, dented, chipped, anything. I once told her she was lucky no one ever hit her, not even with their door (she just leaves the thing at airports, the mall, Manhattan streets, you name it). Her reply: "Why would anyone do that?" Some of us are lucky, the rest are like me.

 

Yeah, my B5 went three years, not a single ding.

It must be the B5 magic...boy, even with my B7, I miss that car.
