How much would something like this cost to repair? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/c/b/cb6239e18289f0cc321edee5c2ec96071c4f10d2.jpeg) ---

$500 to $1500 depending on how deep the damage goes and where you live. You do know that body repair shops give free estimates, right? ---

Yes I do. Would they be able to cover it? ---

Yes. Report how the damage occurred to the vehicle to your insurance company, and it will be covered. But also understand that there may be a deductible for how the damage occurred. That means you pay money up front before the insurance kicks in. Tester ---

Looks like $2000 in damage, contact your insurance company. ---

> [@Jeffreyspec](#): > > Yes I do. Would they be able to cover it? A person should always have a clear understanding of what their insurance covers . Be it vehicle , medical or the home you live in . Also talk to an agent and see if you actually have enough coverage rather just the minimum to meet your state requirements. ---

Is that paint from the scrape, or paint missing? If paint from the scrape a paintless dent repair could fix it for under $500 for sure. ---

My daughter’s Rav4 had a dent in rear door from a deer running into it. Small area of paint chipped up. The repair was $1,600 with a $50.00 deductible. My guess is this repair would be closer to $2,000. Contact your insurance company assuming you have full coverage.
