Painteless dent repair?

Backing into my garage I saw something falling out of the corner of my eye and reacted.... My reaction unfortunately had me press the passenger fender into the garage door opening. ... I want to cry. Should have just let the broom hit...

Are their creases in it or is it just a dent?

No creasing. Just dent. Not even any scratches

You can definitely get it fixed like nothing happened. Find a PROFESSIONAL. If you were in Texas, i would refer you to a dent magician.

Good luck.

I've seen worse, that came out remarkably almost perfect.

A Professional is the key word here, fully agree.

I'm lucky enough to know one who has been doing this daily for a couple of decades. He recently fixed a dent on Sledge, where other purported paint-less dudes said that it couldn't be done. He never ceases to amaze me with his work.

Looks very similar to one that I had - and got in a similar fashion. Had the car on dollies and close to the garage wall for the winter. Come spring I couldn't get it to budge, so I wedged myself between the wall and the front fender to push it. Sure enough I had a 'stupid' moment and had a nice butt sized dent in the same spot as yours. Dented the crease around the wheel well as well

Took $600 to PDR it - just $100 more than my deductible. A body shop would have replaced the fender and would have been a claim on the insurance. Can't tell it was ever dented.
