Ding repairs on new car

Despite my efforts to park in spaces that should minimize the potential for dings, our less than 5-month-old mid-sized SUV just got a new (dimple like) ding on the driver AND passenger side door panels this memorial weekend (from either parking at the pool and/or a restaurant). I know it's a small issue in life, but this is the nicest car I have ever purchased - I am early 50's and saved for years for this purchase. I can't help but feel bitter to see it happen so soon, and twice in one weekend. In the past I've just lived with a few small barely noticeable dings on prior cars, but these are both pretty visible.
Can anyone recommend a body or dent repair shop that they had a good experience using in the general Fairfax County/Falls Church/Arlington areas? I have no idea what this type of repair would even cost. Fortunately, there appears to be little to no actual paint damage. Any advice/recommendations are appreciated. |

| I'd not worry about it and just park in better places. Those hardly ever used spots at the extreme end of the parking lot. Take up two spaces if plenty of spaces exist. |

| With no paint damage it can be fixed with paint less dent repair (PDR). All car dealers use someone for it, stop by any and ask the used car manager what day his guy comes by. |

What? All dents can be fixed. |

Don't do it. You will get more if you already have two. Save your money. I'm actually waiting for the time the car is scratched up and I won't care anymore.
Another life tip - give away furniture when you move. Don't waste time on renting a truck. I see people moving with Ikea furniture. Got to be kidding me. |
