Re: Replace door skin, shell, or just tap a dent out?

Thanks. No not really. That's all the advice I've got. Unfortunately, I don't know much about cars, and even less about this kinda stuff. I promised that wherever I go/stay from now on, I need to know 7 people on really good terms (a doctor, a policeman, a lawyer, etc.), and one of them is someone who works at a body shop.

There shouldn't be any damage to the inner shell. Apparently it was a very soft collision... just coming out of the parking and hitting the divider. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Problem is, when you say "go with who you trust," I don't really trust anyone
