So I let my brother borrow the Tahoe for a few weeks, he smashed it into one of his buddy's rigs and this happened. :disgust:

The bumper mashed in the the metal and some of the paint is flaking off. How much is this to fix at a shop, and how would I go about fixing it myself?

yea, theres the quarter panel blocking it. youll need to pull the dent with a studgun/spotwelder which ever you prefer to call it
