Advice for concrete scrape on side of car, how should i proceed?

[oscarAB]

Hey all, just made a terrible mistake and scraped the back right side above the wheel by turning too close on a concrete panel. I've been reading threads on this site and piled some good information but still want more advice on my particular situation. I have tesla insurance and was headed towards not claiming this accident because of penalties, raising my insurance, and it being more expensive having it fixed at a tesla shop.
I read that someone used a "dent puller" from amazon, not sure if i should look into that? Also, polishing the compound myself perhaps? Or going to a detailer for advice...
Any info/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately that will likely have to be repaired by a body shop.

Sorry, that is more than a scrape. You could send a photo to a local PDR place just to be sure, but anything that involves bending some of the existing panel creases is usually a big job.

It may help to do homework on the local approved Tesla body shops to see if they do decent work.
