i had a similar occurrence with a jackstand a few months ago. i jacked up the car in the right spot, threw a jackstand under the car. when i lowered the car, i apparently didnt move the stand far enough out of the way and the edge of the stand "hooked" the fender and creased it almost identical to that



ended up taking it to a good bodyshop in the area and they were able to save the fender and it came out looking perfect (even for myself who is anal retentive about color matching and bodywork) the cost of the repair was $350 so i would expect yours to be around the same. good luck

Expensive lesson. Sorry it happened but next time:

1. Use a flashlight when jacking up a car at night.

2. Get down on the ground and make sure the jack is under the lift points before cranking at it.

This could have been avoided if you weren't in a rush.
