Recommendations for repairing minor scrape?
Parked my car on the street last week and someone scraped the rear driver's side corner. It is pretty minor but there is a small dent (about the size of a nickel) and it's gone through the paint. My lease is up in a month and the body shop I usually go to says the best they can do is about $500, tax in.
Any suggestions on something that will get this through the lease inspection, since for $500 I might as well just let BMW take it from my security deposit. BTW, I'm in Toronto, but willing to go anywhere in the GTA to get it done.

No, I really don't believe in the value of the lease protection. Even if I'd got it, I'd still be minimum $600 worse off, factoring in the cost of this repair.

can you just get a PDR service to pop the dent out, then take a paint stick to touch it up? Ghetto way but it may get you through the minimum standards for lease return.

Get a quote from Thilan at Dent Xpress. He's one of the best in the GTA.
He got a dent out of the rear window pillar that my wife's brand new 435 arrived with from the dealer. I don't know if he does the paint touch-ups though. Check with him. If he doesn't, he can recommend someone. For references just google his name & business. He gets raving reviews on all of the car forums. http://www.dent-xpress.com/dents-removed.html

Yes, I might try that. It's really a pretty small mark.
