Post Got into a fender bender(literally)

Ok I was travelling down my local road(Pines Blvd.) and my windshield was pretty hazy. Suddenly I see this Jeep grand Cherokee in front of me coming to a complete stop(traffic). I was pretty close so I swerved into the right lane. I hit a Ford Explorer. Luckily I only hit her rear right tire. The Explorer had no damage at all, I had a huge black mark across my left front fender(I removed it easily with a wet cloth and buffed out the little scratches.) My only problem now is when I open my driver side door, it rubs/grinds against the seam between the fender and the door, most likely due to the slight impact of the collision. What I wanted to know is how much do you guys estimate it would cost if I were to bring my car to a body shop to "realign" my fender. There is no paint/surface damage, the fender is most likely just a tad bit misaligned(It isn't visibly noticeable). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should cost next to nothing.. It's very minor work... Much less than a C note, IMO..

Yeah, I think I can remember hearing the term cnote in one of those old gangster flicks.

I always figured that the "C" in "C-note" referred to C being 100 in Roman numerals.

I'd estimate less than 200 with tax, depending on your relationship with the body shop peeps. Go ahead and get that fixed though because your paint will eventually rub off the door if it goes to long.
