I just noticed that my fender was bowed out when i got home from the tire shop. I know the tab underneath is bent, but how do i fix it? I tried bending it back but that did not work to well, i barely moved it. Help ASAP!, going to chevy madness on sunday.

 

They probably put the car on the lift incorrectly...same here haha.....but i took it to a body shop and one day and $75.00 later it looked as good as new....um...minus the already present Maaco peeling paint that is lol

 

Chances are they lifted the car by the spot where the fender lip bolts to the body lip. When you lift there, the lip bends out, which pushes the fender up and out.

You can fix 90% of it by taking a pair of pliers and bending the lip back down.

 

what kind of pliers would work? i used some old ones i had and the thing barely moved. i need to try and have this fixed by sunday so i am kind of freaking out.

 

Bigger ones.

A pair of channel locks or vice grips should work. It's only 2 pieces of tin with a bolt in them.

 

Might be going out on a limb here, but why don't you take it back to the tire shop, show them, and then let them have their choice of body shop fix it?

It's all ready going to cost you a good bit to get the right pliers, just to *MAYBE* get it back right..
