How do you fix dents in a car door frame?
I recently had a roadside assistance tech come and pry my car door open for me when I locked the keys inside. Now I have dents in my car door frame. Is there a way for me to fix dents in a car door frame?

Believe it or not, bent car door frames are a common side effect of having a car door pried open. Luckily, the damage usually isn’t beyond being fixed. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to bend your car door frame back by hand.
To fix the dents in your car door frame, open the dented door and press your knee to the door to hold it in place. Grab the dented area and bend it back to its original position. This will take more than one attempt as you do not want to overexert or injure yourself. Please proceed with caution and even call a friend or family member over to give you a hand.
If this method seems a little too hands-on for you, take your vehicle to an auto body repair shop and have the damage assessed and repaired by a pro. This type of repair will usually cost between $400 and $750.
