Dent on Wheel Arch
So yesterday in the grocery parking lot some genius apparently rubbed his bumper all along my rear wheel arch area. Thankfully there isn't any paint damage, but basically the top of my right, rear wheel arch has been flattened, meaning the outward "bulge" that should be there at the very top, doesn't exist anymore.
I would post a picture, but so far I have been unable to take a pic that shows the dent correctly, due to reflections. It actually doesn't look that bad, but under the right lighting conditions it is clearly visible especially if you look at the other side of the vehicle for comparison.
Anyways, the dealer said to try paintless dent removal. His own price quote was at a ridiculous $1400
but he basically suggested to leave it alone because trying to fix it could make it worse 
What do you guys suggest?

Paintless dent removal can be amazing. I would ask your dealer or others for a good one. All the dealers use it to fix small dings especially on their used cars (most have a guy visit every week or two). You're fortunate that paint wasn't damaged as that is the only thing that they can't repair 100%. Typically the only limitation to the pdr is access to the damage which shouldn't be a problem.
