The cost to fix a dent can vary widely depending on the size, location, and severity of the dent, as well as the make and model of the vehicle and the metal style that is dented. In general, a small dent can cost anywhere from $150 to $250 to repair, while larger dents or those that require more extensive repair work can cost several hundred dollars or more.

The cost may also vary depending on the type of repair method used. For example, paintless dent repair (PDR) is often less expensive than traditional bodywork because it requires less labor and materials. On the other hand, if the dent has caused damage to the paint or requires replacement of body panels, the cost can be significantly higher.

It’s best to get an estimate from a reputable paintless dent repair shop first to see if your damage qualifies for them to repair. If it does not they can then refer you to an auto body shop to determine the cost to fix a specific dent on your vehicle. The shop may need to see the damage in person to provide an accurate estimate.
