Welcome to the Forum vw74. :wavey:
Too bad you had to introduce yourself this way. To me it looks like a crease so I don't know if it as simple as just pushing it back out. A body shop should have the proper tools to do this type of work.

thanks. How much do you think it will cost me for this to get fixed?

I'm about to pay $160 to have a small ding repaired with paintless repair.

If the paint is truly not damaged, a little PDR (paintless dent removal) should fix it up. Of course the body shop would have to give you an estimate, but I have seen a couple of hundred bucks for accessible dents. All a matter of how much time it takes.

that kink to the back is a metal stretch,its not cominh out without professional bodywork, how perfect do you want it, collect insurance and fix it or not, just my 2 buck

Ouch, I hope your Insurance will take care of it...

Sorry to hear that.

The person who hit you and caused that damage and didn't stop should be ashamed.

My wife totalled our CR-V when she ran over a transmission that had fallen off a truck. Of course the truck didn't stop and we had to foot the deductible.

welcome to the forum.
