Default quarter panel an easy fix?

ok, I parked my car at work today...and I came out and there is a dent on the passenger side rear quarter panel right above the bumper, there is no paint missing..nor any new paint on the car) it's just a dent. It's not very deep...but the circumference is about the size of a small bowl...how bad do you think the damage is? do you think a body shop can just pop it out?

if there is not paint chips then i'm pretty sure it can be fixed by a simple body shop. dent wizards

Yeah, if no paint chipping, then a dent puller or body shop can easily fix it. All they have to do is pull the plastic liner from the hatch and the sheet metal can be easily accessed.

if the dent is near the edge of the panel chances are it will not look perfect or close too. usually depending on the severity of the dent you may have a crease. again if close to the outer edge of a panel.

that is if you have the paintless dent removal.

at worst they would pull it or bang it out, bondo it a little and spray the quarter.
