I don't even know how it happened. The guy at the body shop told me it looks like someone has backed into me. Then he quoted me $420.

Sucks that happened! That doesn't seem too bad of a price for that though. When I backed into my dad's minivan with my '99 V6, I only scuffed the bumper's paint and the taillight...no sheet metal damage, yet the repair was over $500.

That price is way too high, shouldn't be more than a $200 fix tops.

I would get a few more quotes also. I had to have some hail damage repaired on Highway a few years ago,it was only in the $700-800 range, and many more dents!

The lowest estimate I received was $350. The tri coat paint is what makes it really expensive. I was told to try paintless dent removal, but because it is on that lip that wont work.
