Not a good day!
I'm backing up out of the parking garage today at work to go home, and misjudged the length of the the extended length, crew cab, long bed, dually pick up truck that parked next to me (lol). I tapped it's rear bumper as I was looking behind me to see if any cars were coming (cause there was another long bed, extended length, crew cab dually on the other side of me). Of course when it hit I stopped and pulled forward. Naturally there was no damage to the truck. There is, however, a crease on my car from the headlight to the front of the wheel well. Paint doesn't appear to be damaged. Anyone care to hazard a guess at how much it will take to repair? Thanks.

Check out paintless dent repair!
Try paintless dent repair first! Don't know if they can pull out a crease but it's worth the try. No filler, no sanding, no repainting. MB wanted $1200 to fix a dent in the roof and Dent Masters did it for $250.

Thanks for the sympathy. I've calmed down now. Feel dumb for hitting a parked truck. It's amazing though how it dented and creased from such a light tap. It's hard to have something nice and keep it nice.
