Default Idiot dented my fender.

What's up guys. So i walk out side the other day and see a nice dent in the right rear fender. It's just behind the centerline of the wheel, about as big as my hand, and no more than an inch deep. It has a crease down the middle as though someone backed into me. What an a$&hole. Also, it bent in the lip of the fender a good bit. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Anyhow, what are the chances they could fix this at a body shop without getting a new one? The bend in the lip is what's worrying me. Also, if anyone has any idea how much it may cost either way, that would be great.

without seeing the damage , hard to say what it would take to fix it. I do est. at the shop I work at , and hate it when people phone in asking for quotes.

Or use a stud spotter and slide hammer.
