went in for an inspection and left with............

[GoodVibErations2004]

a GINORMOUS dent in my passenger side fender just above the fender flare. i told the shop about it and they said to come in and have the manager look at it the next day(I didnt notice the dent till i got home) so today I was supposed to go see them. but instead I installed the system I bought on my way home yesterday(before i noticed said dent)....... 1000watt amp and 2 10 inch subs. photos will be posted as soon as I can get some good shots..... all spx audio, and of course my pioneer supertunerIII that has seen the inside of 6 different cars. it sounds pretty decent. BUT! i am still pissed at MONRO..... they've always been relatively good to me, and i can accept that accidents happen...... but freakin tell me about it and then fix it. or fix it and dont tell me. i dont freakin care. as you can see im a lil flustered right now(even though this happened yesterday) but i wont be able to bring the car back to them until wednesday. tomorrow a friend and I are getting together to do my front brakes. bought ceramic pads. and then searching for a new job seeing as how mine sux. lol. pictures of said system laterThe GIANT dentThe 400W amp(soon to be wired in line with another 300watt jensen amp)The 2 10IN subs in a sealed boxThe nice little decal that came with the whole setup

That sucks man. Hopefully it all works out for you. I look foward to seeing your system when you have it all hooked up!

[Caretaker]

Yep, my dealer dinged up my wheel well by hitting a floor jack when they were doing final checkout on my brand new vehicle. They did a good job fixing it, but it was just another saga in a made-for-TV-movie about me and GM since last July.

well i took some pictures but ive been really busy and havent had the chance to get them online yet. soon i will upload the dent and the system. gotta clean my baby up a lil first

Oh no!! I know how you feel GRRRR. I hope it gets setteled ASAP.

BUMP for pix of dent and system(which still needs work, but its shaping up)

[ou.grizzly]

Yeah. Call the BBB, call your insurance company, and call the owner of the place. Press hard till they pay.

You should be able to find a good Paintless Dent Repair man (PDR) to get that out for you. But if you can get them to pay for it get the quote from a body shop. They will quote you more and you can keep the difference for the headache they caused you.

I love the "steal me" sticker on the back

[ToolGuy]

Take the fender off, or have it taken off and pop the dent back out. A lot better then paint and filler.

Sucks about the dentSweet about the system though... We'll have to talk, over in the audio section... You know you've got a giant target painted on the back of your car now, right? Living where you live, I wouldn't expect it to last very long like that... I used to live in Buffalo, so I know.. I don't want to sound like donny downer, but mounting the amp on the back of the seat, dude.. Please, come over to the audio section and lets talk options, k... Don't worry to much about the dent, it's just a car, and it's easily fixed.. if the paint doesn't crack, you might get away with "painless" dwnt removal.. if it does, you may end up with a new fender.. Cheers.. !1And for future reference, I wouldn't trust Monro as far as I could throw them, even for an inspection... When I lived out there, I always tried to use a good "mom-n-pop" shop, was very polite and tipped well... I always got taken care of... one would think an inspection would be difficult to botch, but, i've seen it a few times... Like quick oil places, after a few drain plug horror stories, i do my own thanks.. lol.. I can see what happened with your fender, I think... Jack handle... It got swung up and crushed the fender, but hardly touched the flare, due to the angle.. EDIT:maybe not due to location..

Looks like someone leaned against it, they dent in like that pretty easy. I would go with the above suggestion of either pulling the fender and trying to pop it back out that way or getting one of the suction dent pullers and trying it that way. Should be an easy fix as long as it doesn't crease.

I've got a dent identical to that. No clue where it came from for me though
