Dent repair

[molocono]

My friend fell on top of my '04 SR5 and put two dents in the body. A large one on the top side (pictured) and a smaller one of the side. The paint was chipped as well. Just wanted to hear some ideas on how I can go about fixing this. Well, first of all, CAN it be repaired? Where should I go?

Here is the damage to the paint.

Have dent wizard check out the dent. They might not be able to do it since it's close to an edge. Also, they don't usually like to mess with anything that already has damaged paint. If you can get them to do it, you might be able to cover up the paint problem with some touch up paint. It's up on top right?

If that solution doesn't work, then your going to have to go the body shop route.

Does the body shop solution present any problems?

I would take it to Toyota for their body shop to give you an estimate. They can do paintless dent removal as well as regular repair. This idiot is a friend of yours??? Looks like it will cost him some $$$. How did your "Friend" happen to do this to your new 4runner?

Well, he is actually my friend's brother-in-law. The guy fell from a tower (kinda like that of a lifeguard) where we were camping at. He probably fell about 12 feet. I guess he was lucky though, if he had fallen from the opposite side he might have broken his neck.

Any idea on how much this is gonna cost me?

$0.

Your friend's brother-in-law should pay for it...

If he won't pay for it, it should only cost you what the deductible is on your Comprehensive coverage.
