door ding in my new car

last year in July I bought a 2014 Chevy Cruze. I drove it for several months and sometime before thanksgiving I got a door ding. I hadn't even changed the oil for the first time when it happened. I got an estimate to get it repaired and it will cost about 600. my deductible for that type of claim is 500. do I pay the insurance 500 and risk a rate hike or pay out of pocket? what a pain in the ass. there is another place I can get an estimate and it might be cheaper, and if it's less than 500, it would be worth while.
 


how bad is the ding, have you tried paintless dent repair. if it not too bad most of those guys can repair it in a couple hours
 


Unless it's horrible I would ignore it.
Hows it gonna feel when you're $600 in the hole and week or month later you get another ding on your daily?
No matter where you park , it's bound to happen

fat *****es getting out of their cars and their big asses banging the car door into yours , or the idiots who park too close etc
 
Ehh I'll deal with it, door dings are gonna occur again. Contact a pdr guy in your area he may be able to pull it out if it is in fact a ding and doesn't require paint etc
 
Pics. Sometimes the PDR guys can get it straight for under $100 and a little bit of touch up paint will make it very hard to see.
