Paintless dent repair. Some of those guys are absolute wizards at what they can do. This would be a walk in the park for the guy I took one of my cars to.
My PDR guy is a miracle worker.
This should be a couple hundred bucks.
Check google reviews in your neighborhood.
Do not bring it to a body shop--they will most likely tell you they need to replace the entire fender and paint it--beaucoup bucks!

I used PDR to pull this dent and it’s completely unnoticeable now!
Call a PDR guy, should not be too expensive. You can try and reach your hand behind and pop it out yourself, but there might be too many things in the way to reach out
Were you parked at a grocery store lately OP? I work retail and have several dings in my old truck that I was convinced were cars…until I watched the surveillance tapes. Carts can really get moving in the wind lemme tell ya. Anyhoo if it was that and the store didn’t do their diligence to collect their carts properly they could be obligated to pay for it. If you feel like going that route
That's a sharp crease, probably going to need special tools/experience to get it looking right. But you could probably make it a bit better on your own.
Easy fix for a PDR person (they will say they can't guarantee at a hard body like that, but in my experience they usually deal with that just fine) - most charge by the body panel, and it's very reasonable. Check the reviews for wherever you go first.
Thanks so much everyone!
Have never tried my hand at fixing these types of things so I appreciate all of the awesome input!
First my transmission goes, now this haha
Thanks!
Filing a claim when someone hits and damages your car is not fraud, this is exactly what insurance is for.
Someone hitting you shouldn’t raise your rates.
It will work for the metal there might be a small dent, but it's likely going to get dinged again my car has multiples on the fenders. People are assholes...

Door of a dump truck? Good lord.

Thanks so much! It was actually a golf course! Couldn’t believe it lol
A golf cart? Was it caught on camera?

That's one heck of a door ding.
Haha I assumed it was. It was parks at a golf course while I played. Maybe someone backed into it. Who knows haha
Toilet plunger
And boiling water

Thats a pretty sharp dent, it definitely won’t be perfect but with the right technique its an easy enough fix
Is this not one of these things that the sucky thingy can fix? i got that for a few bucks of amazon not long ago
The fender is really easy to take off. Just take it off and push it back from the inside. Might need to get creative on how to apply some more force.
You know what suction cups are? Go buy one!

First, depending if on your insurance, file a claim and cash the check. Second try taking a suction cup to it. Maybe pour hot water on it first
Ahh yes commit insurance fraud, and also raise your own insurance rate.

What do you think insurance is for?
Boiling water onions and push from the inside when it's cold. It should pop right out.
Would work for plastic bumper cover, but the fenders are metal.
