Well today sucked pretty hard...... We are having crazy winds with the winter storm today. I was on the parking lot of a grocery store and a car blew Into my car at full speed.

The picture below is the damage. I am so mad at the moment over this. I'm hoping a pointless deny removal place can fix it but the dent in the crease has me nervous.

I'm guessing you meant to type "Cart" and not car. However, we did have some crazy wind today here in DFW so it's possible. You should be able to get that fixed, those dent guys are wizards.

You can give it a go yourself with a pneumatic dent puller, but if you're inexperienced and want it to look like it never happened, take it to a professional paintless dent repair shop.

The damage would be covered under the vehicle owner’s comprehensive damage insurance coverage (minus any deductible and if they have the coverage).

it's like you think you're the first one to try this.

Wind blew a cart into the car. They aren't paying for that. 100% guarantee. Store doesn't control the wind OR where people leave carts.

OP: The panels are aluminum. It may be a little trickier than steel panels, but a paintless dent removal guy will have a better answer than us.

True. Also trickier as the dent appears to be on the crease. I would go with a pro since a dent removal tool won't be enough.

Creases are tough for dentless. The other issue I had is where are the beams? I had a door ding just below the door beam and it couldn't be done "dentless". Actually, I think it was part of the beam. Had to bondo and paint the door. Not happy about that. Anyway, $800 later it's fixed. Other guy paid for it since I watched HER bang HER door into mine.
