So my baby got backed into last night. Looks like someone with a tall SUV bumped into the tip of my driver's side front fender, curling is in and under the hood a bit. It's only the last couple of inches that were affected, but it was enough for the paint to splinter off and leave bare metal exposed.
Does anyone have any idea how much I'd be talking to have this properly repaired? Hundreds? Thousands? I have zero experience with having body work done, and being a poor college student I have neither collision or comprehensive on the car (Although between this and having it minorly keyed last week it might have actually paid for itself by now). I just want an idea of whether getting an estimate is even worth it, or whether it's going to cost way more than I'm willing to put into cosmetics at this point.
