Well the estimate line item for that item was $126 or something stupid

Personally, I wouldn't drive around with the damage, but it might be an option

Also, you're probably right that your personal mechanic or a competent body shop could do the repair without replacing the fender completely.

Hopefully my guy can find a salvage junk fender or PDR the ever living crap out of it with some paint thrown in. Insurance is freaking useless in the state of NY. $500 deductible my ***.

Their insurance or your insurance? Don't claim it through your insurance if you can avoid it.

We had a bunch of hail damage that they wanted me to pay $1100 for at the end of the lease. I got them to cut it in half if I agreed to pay in full on the spot. That was way better than filing a claim on my insurance and still paying my $500 deductible. Basically, I paid $50 more NOT to have the claim on my insurance.
