Question
My daughter backed her jeep into a friends car door. The dent is minor , 5 inches long ,3 inches wide, and dented in just about  1/2 inch.  Could you approximate the cost of repair?

Answer
If the paint is not broken, find a paintless dent removal guy/girl and have them repair it. It should cost about 125.00 or so. If it requirs painting it could run any where from 250.00 - 600.00. I can not be more accurate without know what bodyshops charge in your area.
