I think what he was asking is could you see the dent in all of the security cameras at the car wash or did it appear midway through the process? Just because you don't actually see it get created doesn't mean you can't prove to the owner that it happened during the process. Wonder if they still have the footage because I'd start with the first shot of it going in.

Me personally, I would've taken someone's life at the car wash first then calmed down and watched the footage.

Ahh...that makes sense. Actually, the footage showed that after I got out of the car and while the car was being vacummed, no one approached that part of the car, much less leaned against it. As it was being pulled into the wash bay you could clearly see that the dent was already there.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. All you people out there that say DIY are pretty brave. There's no way I would screw with this myself!

The idea that I've gotten so far is that for a dent that size, PDR is going to cost anywhere from $200-$250. Also, there's a good chance that the damage would still be slightly noticable. Going the traditional bodyshop route is going to run me about $400, with the guarantee that the repair will look perfect. That being the case, it looks like I'm off to the bodyshop.
