Door Dings
Im new to this forum but have been a honda driver for years. When i graduated form college a year ago my present was a 03 accord ex-l v6. I really like the car and have been taking great care but the other as I was leaving work I notice two dings on the passenger side to the left of the 
front wheel well. I really cant tell what made them, but there is some white abrasions. I would really like to get this fixed because it bothers me everyday. Where is the best place to get this taken care of. Can I go to the dealership or do I need to go to a body shop? I must say i'm not a huge fan of body shops because for every great one theres about 2 or 3 bad ones. I would greatly appreciate the help.

or you can go to an auto parts store and buy the Ding King.
My friends dad got hit on his passenger door.
He used the Ding King to get the dings out and when the insurance guy came by he was like no damage to the car.
So for 20 bucks I'd try it.

Just how big your ding? If smaller than a dime, can those Ding King remove those? I seen my buddy Civic Si has a ding thats 4 inches long. SOB got nailed by these Redneck SUV 
in the Home depot parking lot.

That Ding King is not that great. It tears the paint off the car.

I would have a Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) place check it out first. That would be your best option if they feel they can do it good enough. I've had good luck with it. The big ones with creases are hard to get out with PDR though.
