Angry Some Punk Dented My Car!

Ok, To make a long story short, some punk kid put two dents in my car. Im going to go and get them taken out and pay the $200 deductable from insurance. They said i have to get the rear quarter panel repainted so i wanna make sure its 100% same color.I know there not that big, but i can see them and thats enough to **** me off every time i look at them. What im wondering is:
1.) Will these be able to be taken out 100%?
2.) What is the best place to go

I can go to my local body shop, or i can go to the city and go to the Honda dealership and get them to paint it.
Lemme know what you all think.

It doesn't look too bad. I had a door ding worse than that and I got it popped out so it looks better. Yours isn't that noticable up there, but you should get it fixed if it bothers you.

I am for sure gonna get it popped out, but they said they have to repaint the whole quarter panel??? anyways, i think ill take it to the dealership to have the work done there, they can probably match the paint the best.

Okay, just make sure it's an expensive place that does color matching. Sometimes just painting it the same color doesn't always work.

It doesn't look that bad.... Everyone gets dents on their cars..it's part of owning one. Eventually youre gonna get dings and stuff..nothing is gonna be perfect..

i dont think its worth the $200 deductable to fix it, its not really that bad.
but if you definately want it fixed, make sure that the place is very reputable (that paint is gonna be a little hard to match to the factory color) and make sure they actually paint the while panel, and not paint and blend, that will look like ***.
really though, i would just leave it, if you get more dents on that panel or something, then claim it.
