I actually took my last car there a couple of years ago. They took a realllllly long time to repair it. Not sure if the service has gotten any better.

I would definitely try a good paint-less, dent, repair place, even if you have to drive a ways to get to a good one.
Several years back I had a shelf in my garage collapse and an old big oil lamp fell on the rear quarter panel right on the radius area. it looked like someone hit the car with an ax.
The dealer wanted $800 to repair and repaint the panel. It was a pearl white color so they said it took 3 different coats/colors of paint.
i went to a paint-less repair place, figuring I had nothing to lose. It took them less then 1/2 an hour and they charged me $75. When they were finished I couldn't see any imperfection. I actually couldn't find the area where the damage had been.

No way that can be paintless, the bend screwed you.
