since your car is that new...you might wanna just replace the entire door...look around in a junk yard or something. sometimes you might get lucky and find yourself a nice clean cheap door...same color...no need to repaint...and keep the remainder money for all the headache

They caused the damage, make them fix it.
Try & get a few estimates.
The three c's come into play.
Care / custody / control.
It was damaged so they did not use reasonable care.
Car was in the shops possession when this occurred.
They failed to maintain control of car, indirectly causing the Damages.
100% they are liable, had a similar situation with a young girl hit my g 1st week I had it she backed into it.
Felt bad bad had $1,050 in damage I didn't do, made her pay the damage.,

Do you have any reasons to back up your opinion on this? At the lease end you have the option to buy a used car that you know the complete history of, you know if it was ever in an accident, has ever had any mechanical problems, exactly how it was driven and how well maintained it was. Unless comparable used cars are on the market for less than your payoff, why wouldn't you take advantage of that? Unless of course you have reasons to not want to keep it, or just want to keep leasing new cars all the time....
Most likely not. Most car manufactures give a 1 to 2 inch max and you don't have to worry about along with scratches etc. Just need to check with the dealership and they will tell you the rules of your lease. From the look of it a good PDR guy get that out. I had a very similar dent in my previous car and the guy came to my house charged my $75 and couldn't even find it. It was truely an art these PDR guys have.

Leasing companies try to estimate the value based on age and mileage to determine what the residual should be. If it depreciates more than they expect then yes buying them out is a bad deal. If they do not depreciate as much as expected then it can be a good deal. Used car values have been holding up better than expected lately, at least in my area. It is a gamble. Sometimes it is beneficial, sometimes it is not.

I ended up asking Ryan from Ryan's PDR to fix this for me. The dent is almost entirely gone. Can't be removed completely because it is on the very edge of the door in a tough spot, but it is much much better. Cost me $160. If you are in Seattle area and need a ding fixed, contact this guy Ryan Snider Paintless Dent Repair
