Good news. I love the "we could not find your check in photos", that's admitting fault right there. It's only going to cost them a few hundred and you will have a perfect repair with no filler and a respectable opinion of the dealer in the end. I am amazed at PDR. I want to learn how to do it myself. Being from Maine, it's really expensive as only a few folks do it. That would cost me $700-900 in Maine by PDR. You are probably in a more metropolitan area where it is commonplace and experts do the work.
Good to hear! That repair in my area would cost maybe a couple of hundred. Your typical small ding is about $75 or so, I have a guy who will do a group ding rate, say 2-3 dings on a panel, he will do them all for 40 bucks each or so.
He also guarantees them for life, so if the ding repair somehow goes bad with the paint, his insurance will cover the repair. Out of many dings in several vehicles, I have yet to see a PDR repair go bad.
There are a lot of good videos online for PDR, this is my local shop for example: https://www.youtube.com/c/denttime/videos
