How do I fix a bent car door corner?
Someone opened my Corolla door too hard and it hit the curb. Just the bottom tip is bent and the door still closes fine. Can I fix it on my own?

“Accidents happen. It’s easy to unintentionally scratch or damage your car door if you aren’t paying attention.
If you don’t care about the door looking perfect, you may be able to bend the piece of metal back out on your own. Try opening the door, putting a piece of wood between the door and door frame, and gently closing the door on the wood to bend the bottom edge back out.
If this doesn’t work, you can visit a repair shop. The cost will vary depending on the provider and location. That said, repairing a small dent should cost around $150.
As you would with
car insurance
, shop around with repair shops. Getting quotes from different shops
ensures you’ll get the best rate for your dent repair. While you’re at it, consider shopping around for car insurance as well! We recommend reviewing your policy every six months to ensure you’re getting the best deal. To automate this process, try using the
Jerry
app. Jerry automatically reviews your policy every six months and shops for better deals. If you can save money with another company, Jerry will help with the paperwork to switch you over–for free.”View full answer
