It's hard to tell, but you may be able to use one of those "paintless" hail repair places... they will rub it out from the backside.

I had a dent on my drivers side rear wheel well from some jackass opening his door into my car, but I guess that happens. I brought it to the dealership and they took it to a body shop that charged $450 for fixing the dent and repainting the entire panel. I dont think it will be 1000-17000. Let us know.

I would take it to a dent wizard first to see what they say. They might be able to
fix it without any paint.

For my ladder, I use those huge hooks, then zip tie the ladder to the stud of
the wall with a large screws (3 locations) just for backup.

that's why i would never hang anything near my car in the garage. i live in california, so there's always a chance of "the big one" or a minor earthquake that can send things flying/falling

Andrew, I do Paintless Dent Removal and the only problem I see is it's on the crease... Tricky... Without seeing it in person, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't seem all that deep from the pics... I would definitely go the PDR route for something like that though...

Andrew,

Just looked at my car to see exactly what that area looks like... There should be no problem at all... That area is just curved, not really a crease... Wish you were local, but any good PDR Tech should have no problem with that... Don't sweat it... PM me with you zip code and I can talk to one of my friends and see if he knows of anyone local for you...

Steve
