How much will it cost to fix a small dent in a car?

About a week ago a friend of mine had an accident on his skateboard, and while taking him into the hospital, I opened my door pretty hard against a pole. The dent isn’t huge, and my friend is okay, but I’d like to get the dent fixed. How much would it cost to fix a small dent in a car?

Fixing a small dent
in your car will vary in cost depending mainly on the extent and location of the damage. Generally, you can expect to pay at least $150 but as much as $600.
The best way for you to get an accurate price estimate will be to bring your car into an auto body repair shop and have the damage examined by a professional.
If you find that the price to get the dent fixed is a little higher than you were expecting, you can always try and remove the dent yourself with a dent puller. These come in a wide price range from as low as $5 and as high as $200.
