Thewrench86 · 12-23-2012, 04:07 PM

well today someone dropped a ladder on my car, hit the A pillar just above the door, luckily didnt cause to much other damage just a 2-3 inch staright line dent acrosss the whole width of the pillar. how can u get it repaired if it can be? is the structural integrity compromised?

thanks guys in advance.

You should be fine with a smart repair if on a pillar and and it being pulled out a bit and filled.

Sorry to hear about the damage, who dropped the ladder? Are they paying?

give chipsway a call as well, since it will most likely be a smart repair and they will just contract it out to someone anyway. Might as well save yourself the mark up
