Got into a minor accident today, going to get it buffed out tomorrow but was wondering how much it would cost to fix in the long run?

I dont mean buff out the dent.. I went today and buffed out all the scratches.. looks clean again.. except the dent part

The mechanic suggested me to repair with bando and just repaint over it, im not to sure though.. what do you think?

Bondo will work great. See if you can find bondo that is the same color as your car so you don't have to paint!

YouTube PDR. They're doing amazing things these days. It's gotten to the point where they can fix creases, dents on body lines, multiple hi/low spot dents etc.. It'll be a few hundred bucks, but It will be done in a few hours and still original paint. There are examples of pdr repair on YouTube ten times worse than yours that are fixed to almost perfect. Getting that fixed by a body shop will be over $700.

THAT MIGHT POP OUT BY HAND !!!
CUT THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT take off the inner wheel well screws like one or two and see if you can stick you fingers in there and push it out.
should take about 20 minutes total well worth the try.
Good luck!! easy easy
