HELP! Got hit by a shopping cart

2 days ago I was pulling out of Albertson's and while I was looking through my rear my dad screams to me "watch out!" Then Boom a shopping cart hit me. Cart was going pretty fast cause it caused a dent in my right fender. My friends saw it and said I could do one of two things...
1. Ding King!!!!
2. Go to a shop and get it popped out.
Has anyone ever even tried the Ding King? I dont know how hard/simple it is to just pop out a dent from the fender so yeah. If its hard i'll just go to a shop, but does anyone got any ideas or how much it would cost to get it fixed? Any suggestions would help cause I want to get this fixed ASAP. Thanks

dude. i think albertsons might have to pay... my mom's car got hit a couple of years ago... she went to the manager and he gave her some compensation. not much, but it covered most of the repairs.

usually most stores do not have liability in what happens in the parking lot. I know that costco has a sign that says costco is not responsible for any damage that the shopping carts do.

who let the cart hit her car?

If it was a customer, I would have burst out laughing in front of yer momz if I was teh manager....lol

yeah, the store isn't responsible for damage done on the lot...

shoot that's nothing...I just got hit with an exploding car window yesterday.

go look at the SF dent days in meetings forum. Have justin do it for you. Cost you less than a tank a gas probably. Either way it's less than any shop I've been too.
