Default Damage to my 3 Month Old Car!!

My 3 month IS 250 has been slightly dented by my sister! She was backing out of our driveway and her wheel dented my wheel well. I have that Lexus Titanium Service, but after reading reviews on www.nationaladjust.com, they kind of scare me. Has anyone had experience with the national adjust? I am going to a body shop and see what they can do. Does anyone know how much the damage will cost? Sorry about the images, these are from 3 MP phone.

It is a service I got suckered into that is suppose to help with dent, ding, tire, windshield. National Adjustment Bureau (http://www.nsdclaims.com/) runs the service and claims for the service it seems. I looked online for reviews of national adjust and they are not reviewed very highly.

I would post this in the Chicago forum for a better response. Check out A&L Autobody in Palatine!

I wouldn't think Maaco would be anywhere near reputable let alone a top notch shop.
