Estimate Cost of Repair
Hey guys, just had a little accident with my rear quarter panel. I dropped a cooler from a shelf and it landed on the car unfortunately. Just wanted to ask how much you guys think this would cost...gonna go around tomorrow for quotes. Possible filler and paint match needex I believe.

I think I see paint missing, correct?
That should be a repaint and blend of the rear after the dent is pulled out. I would find a good shop that matches the paint, but I would prepare for 1-1.5k. Or, have PDR pull out the dent and the plastidip it. |

PDR might take that out. If you blow the picture up you can see a crease at the top of the dent so not sure how well it will pull out (no pun intended)

PDR isn't going to help on that one. Around here that is an easy $1000 for a well done repair. Prices differ by region and quality though.
And geeeez just kind of cooler was that? Something from 1951?

Also, no matter what have a PDR take a stab at it first. At the very least it can be a more minor repair when a full on body shop gets to it, but it looks like PDR can mostly sort that out.

Creating a "more minor" repair is just throwing money away.

My wife's last car, an 07 Forester, had a front fender one where someone pushed it in on a crease and they were able to pop it back out, but I think the whole crease was pushed in so maybe that's why it came out so clean/as good as it could.
