PDR guesstimates?

Finally did it and backed into my daughter’s car yesterday…any ideas how much PDR would run? Thanks guys…

Ugh...everyone's nightmare, that ridiculous "Oops" moment that can happen while backing in a tight space. Sorry.

Guesstimate for sure, but...it looks like the wheel well liner needs to be removed in order to get a tool on the inside of the crease, to gently massage it out.
This might involve jacking up the car and removing the wheel. If the plastic bumper cover is creased, it might not be fixable.
Cost will be based mostly on labor time, which varies from region to region.

(Don't forget that YOU'LL see it every single time you walk up to the car. Almost everyone else won't even notice it.)

Chicago area: got one estimate for $400 and another for $1000…the latter quote came from someone who sounds like they’ve taken care of Teslas for a bit and the first was pretty confident he could do it but only done 3-4 Teslas…both did say it would be an all day job…with the car being less than 6mos old I’m steering towards the more experienced one

Update: got it fixed today from local business; done mobile as well…$600 - good as new
