If there is no paint damage, it would take 5 Min's to fix it but for insurance reasons it would take 3 hours to fix :-) ,for the cost of it should only be $30. Now when a body shop see the two words "insurance claim" they go apeshit and charge any where between $100 - $2000. as in you are paying for removal of all the scratches and a new clear coat and a wax buffing.

It would all depend what part of the car you hit. There are places on vehicles where that little ding is at that cannot be repaired. You are looking at anywhere from $100 to $1500 bucks. It is irrevelant whether or not the paint came off. Hopefully it will just require the body repair shop to only have to pop the ding back out. Good luck,

If the paint has not been broken, there are some dent removal services available, where they use suction to remove the ding. These guys are usually independent, mobile techs, with no body shop location. Prices vary, but I work in the car business, and I've never seen a bill exceed $150. Look in your area for one. They're great.

It depends on what type of vehicle it is and where the ding is. on some cars it is cheaper to replace a fender ihan it is to sand, pullout the ding, fill w/ bondo, sand, prime, paint and clear coat. On the average car it would probably be anywhere between $600 to $1000 to fix this.

Even on the smallest scratches, body shoppes can charge hundred of dollars! They really try to screw you and take you for every penny you got.
They'll tell you that they can't just put the concealer paint on and buff it out, they'll probably tell you that they need to repaint the whole entire area, and that'll wind up costing! And they might even tell you that they need to remove the scratched metal and replace it with new metal and that could cost thousands.
i hope they don't try to screw you, hun! Good Luck.

It probably depends on where the dent is and who the other people get their quote from they will milk you for as much as they can if they get the quote through a local business rather than the insurance company.
