Man, sorry about that. The dent may have been intentional. Even when I drive I have had some peope come close to side-swapping me, numerous times.

SUX,

Does the mall have security cameras outside? I know we have here at the mall.

How big the dent is. There are some dent guys who can take dents out if there is no sharp edge. They are pretty damn good. You can search on internet for paintless dent removal or something like that. That should help. But I would deffinitely find out if they had security cameras at the mall.

Well worth the 50-100 bux.

I make it a habit not to park next to anyone and in fact park away from most cars just so some idiot does not do what they did to you G37.

if I saw a dent or scratch on my G37 and a car parked next to it,that car would be toast!

Hard to tell since we have no idea what size is the dent and how it looks. Do you have pictures?

I never tried those but I would be scared to do it. I rather pay the 50 bux to the dent guy if needed.

Yeap those are the guys you can call them and they go to your house. That size should be ok as you can see that on the vid. They do a really good job. You can search on the net if you can find somebody around you or just go to your dealer or any dealer and they can give you phone #'s. They have the guy come to them once or twice a month and fix up all they need.

check out bumper doc... they repair dents without having to repaint... they charge by size.. otherwise go to a nissan dealer, they have contract guys who do the same thing and they charge by panel... about a $100 i think should be enough...

Aww. Sorry to hear that. But I think mine was worst, I was smoking beside my G talking to my friend about the hit n run that just happened. Then all of a sudden a car from the opposite side slowly backed up into the front of my G. 2 hit n run on the same day

If you noticed it before you moved you car...and you can see either paint on the other car or a clear line to the door...I would have waited for the other driver.

If no paint is gone, then a dent fix will be around $200 to do it right.

+1 for joe. I would've analyzed the situation to see if it was in fact that car and would've waited. I would have also gone in to ask security about checking the cameras before I left. If you had waited for the guy, you could have filed a police report if you had proof from the security cameras or if he/she admitted to it, then they would have to pay for it. But now, even if you do go back, good luck in finding out who did it. The police won't get involved because it's technically private property.

We use a paintless dent repair guy here at the dealer I work at. I have NEVER seen him use dry ice. But I have seen him work. And he is amazing. He took 3 dents out of my G. One was about the size of you're pinkie finger and about 1/8" deep. He took it out, and if it wasn't for the scratch in it, you would never see it. the other 2 dents looked like someone pushed on the quarter panel w/ the palm of their hand. And both of those came out beautify.

He only charged me 60.00 to do it b/c I work at the dealer, and I payed CASH!. Hint. Talk to the guy and ask him how much if you payed CASH!.

If not it would have been 120.00

Make sure you let him know you are going to pay CASH!

Uhh, one time I sadly noted that a Saturn had ran into my car at an airshow.

I had to let them know how pissed I was, so I could only find a business card for my friends business... at the time I didn't car what I was writing on... just had to get my thoughts on paper.

So anyway, I leave a note something like "Hey F#$face, thanks for hitting my Infiniti G35 with your SH$%box Saturn, I hope your tires go flat and you die."

Anyway, my friend gets a call like a few hours later, from the poor old lady I used his business card He's like, I don't know what you're talking about But that's because I used his card
