im gonna take a good guess and say $400-600. pop the dent out, match and repaint. if you're gonna be paying in cash let the guy know. they usually knock some off.

You should try and pop some of that out yourself, remove the fender liner and push as much of the dent out as you can and some of those scratches will polish out. As for actually repairing it, your probably looking at a 2-3 "hour" dent @ shop body labor, plus blending the door which will include taking the mirror, door handle, belt molding, door molding and lock out. So that it can be painted. Depending on the shop they might try and talk you into blending the hood+bumper. It all depends on who you take it to and how good of work they can do. but $600-1000 is what it will probably be.... Next time have your girlfriend park it[sm=lol.gif]

Well I already went to one place and like u said it was around $950 but I thought he was bumping a price up too much so I asked here, and I guess the guy wasnt bumping a price. I will try to fix it myself, I got me dent poper (or something) and some turtle was. I will fix as much as possible and will pay up the rest to professional. DAmn my car look like crap now and I feel like crap, Wontt be able to drive it till its fixed.

thats a repair that should be left to a professional body shop. a dent popper wont do much.
