get another one on the other side and tell everyone its ur latest mod. lol
but seriously tho.. PDR would be your best bet. they have mobile ones which are very expensive or you could do what i do. take your car to your bodyshop and ask teh owner. they usually have a dent removal person come by a few times a week and the shop gets much better rates. the guy my shop uses charges $60 a panel to remove dents. i called a mobile PDR guy directly and got quoted almost $300. so try that and good luck

Step one: Get pissed off
Step two: move on with your life, 1 inch isn't worth $300+ when you wont even remember about it.

I got mad when I got one in my drivers side door, now I just make sure to keep the car nice clean and shiny and you can barely see it.

+1 For paintless dent removal. Works great. Very affordable.

You should be able to get it done for 100-150 unless you can't easily get behind the dent. I got great results for a dent on the crease of the front fender. Ask your dealer who they use.
