Rear fender accident

What's going to be the easiest way to fix this/how much?

I'd try PDR first. Those guys can really move some metal. If it works, you're only paying $150. If not, I'd hope they wouldn't charge you, but even if they did its not a huge loss.

Definitely worth a shot.

Beyond that, I'd estimate $500 minimum in a body shop.

I'll take a look into it, I wasn't sure if that dent could be popped since it has that shape in the fender.. Thanks

I'm not saying it can, for sure. But I've had them pulled on body lines on my camaro (door), although not quite that extensive.

Just worth looking into it IMO. Always try the simplest method first.

Sucks to see that happened, best of luck.

I agree. An expert PDR tech should be able to get that. They may charge more than 150.00 but worth every penny if it keeps you out of a body shop. It was hard to tell in the pictures but most PDR techs will decline repair attempts if the paint is severely scratched.

Good luck let us know how it went.
