Vandalized!! WTF?

Yes PDR should fix that right up and it should be around $100 or so! No bondo or paint required! You should not be able to notice it at all after if they do a good job.

I have a $500 deductible, so it's not worth it to go through insurance. Also, according to the guys at my shop, with a dent this big they're pretty sure that I won't be able to get this fixed via paintless dent repair. My guess it that's going to be about a $300-$400 job.

If it cant be fixed by the dent doctor and needs to be fixed and bondo'd then it will probably cost more than that as they will probably paint the whole panel or close to it and that might mean you will go over your deductable. If its just a few dollars then dont claim it but if its a couple hundred or more over then you might want to if you dont have the money to cover it.

PDR is right. that's more like a $300+ job, i thinks if done at a reputable shop.

do yourself a favor and DONT touch it, let the pro's do it. the more angles you accidentally put in there the harder it is for the tech to fix.

AGREED!!!!!! Let a pro fix it before you make it worse, no offense, but don't touch it.

I agree with Kenchan, The only thing that could make this worse, is if you made it worse. Whatever the Dent Dr. can do, he'll at least do it right the first time. His suction devices are smaller and more controllable... Far different than using dish soap and a toilet plunger.

Good luck... Guess on cost if Dent Dr can't fix it, meaning I am guessing at the quote you already got from a shop is $650 - $750
