My other car was damaged and need help
So a few weeks ago, I brought my xb to a valey parking in downtown san francisco. The attendants decided to leave my keys in the car but my car locks itself. When I came back, they had to use an inflatable door opener and a long stick to try to open my doors. It worked but now the door is bent out about a few millimeters. The parking company isnt willing to pay for damages and is telling me that if I want to get any further with this, I can take them to court. They said that after thousands of times that they havedone this procedure, they never had any problems with it. They also said that it could be manufacturers defect. Any input with my predicament guys? Thanks.

Take them to court. IF they didn't have you sign a waiver or something before they bent the shit out of your door, then I believe they are liable for the damages. Just ring them up in small claims and don't let them win this.

Bend the door frame back and call it a day, it's not worth the hassle.
Really! I find it hard to believe that if that happened to your car, you would just turn the other cheek and deal with damages obviously caused by someone else's negligence.
It'll take you a minute to bend it back and months of headache and hassle to go the other route.

"bent the shit out of your door" is this really what happened or did the upper part of the door frame get bent outward by a few millimeters? Let's not get crazy here.
