I backed into somebody...
Yeah.... stupid me. And the great thing is it left a huge dent in my car and his. I hit him with the corner of my rear bumper in the front right corner of his car. So... I was wondering if anybody could recomend a good repair/dent removal place in San Diego. I did a search but didnt find anything. Its a big dent like... if someone threw a bowling ball at it. lol. And also if anyone could give me an estimate on what that would cost... maybe it would be better to just get a new bumper. Thanks in advance!

if it's on your bumper, you cannot use paintless dent removal (PDR), PDR is for metal parts, with your bumper, since it's plastic, they'll have to heat it up and bend it back to its original shape, it won't look as good as OEM, your best bet would be to get a new bumper

Ask your dealer for a referral. They run across this problem all the time and should be able to give you the names of a couple of places that they use. Get estimates for the repair, ask to see some of their work and go with whoever makes you feel most comfortable.
I agree with our Canadian friend--you're probably looking at a new bumper.
