Not a body guy but it's certainly repairable. A little filler and blend the paint. I would guess $500-$1000, tho.

Ouch is right! I'm sorry to see that. I've always thought about moving those garage door obstruction sensors higher so they see the back of the car instead of under it. Maybe I will. On the other hand, It would make it much harder for me to jump the invisible hurdle on those occasions.

That sucks. Likely to cost you a few bucks you'd much rather spend elsewhere, but it doesn't look too bad. Id take it to a few top notch shops for quotes, and get it done right and get the pain over with quickly, then forget about.

Start getting estimates at your bodyshop, and if you are going to pay for it, make sure they don't make CarFax report of your damage.
