    That must have been a good sized pebble is all I can say.
    My shop does alignments, but don't think they do frame work. I'm thinking I should start by making appt, give him some time to assess it, instead of the quicky look yesterday.
    I'll also start checking around for a frame place.

    I think it happened when I came off a ledge and couldn't/didn't see the large drop, and landed on a "pebble" (). The dent does look pretty much like a round type shape.
