Duct tape!

Edit I agree with bluedevils95 below. Bummer that this happened to your car. I hope you're able to get it resolved speedily and without too much $

Mark there are shops that specialize in bumper repair, they charge a lot less than your average body shop. Check your yellow pages for "Bumper Repair." I have a company I use called The Dent Man, they take out small dents but they also repair bumpers....hope this helps!

Removed wheel/fender lining and pushed the dent out a little. Couldn't get it completely out, but its 80%. Looks a ton better than the "untouched" scratch.
