Default small dent

Hi Guys, Need your help. I have this small dent (as shown in the pic) and would like to know if this is something you can do on your own without having to see the dealer. I have tried suction cup method which didn't really work. Please let me know if there is any other way to fix it if at all it can be done at home.

Paintless dent removal. $150-200 depending on your area. Don't play around with it because you'll make it worse and then you'll have to repair and repaint. (which will cost more.)

2nd the paintless dent repair...don't go to the dealer, they just send it to the paintless dent repair and add on their markup on top of the repair bill.

Thanks guys for your replies. I guess I will go with paintless dent repair option. One other question I have is I have signed up with SafeRide Motor Club plan at the time when I bought this truck and it covers this repair. My cost should be minimal but what I am worried about is getting this small repair reported to carfax, causing its perfect report to ding a little. Should I still go to dealer using this plan and let them take care anyway or going with outside repair shop is better for the benefit of having perfect carfax report?

this shouldn't come up as an "accident" on your carfax. if for some reason it does petition it by contacting carfax and sending in a copy of the documents.
