How did that happen?

I would try calling some paintless dent repair shops first and see what they can do for you before proceeding any further.

I would go to 2 or 3 good body shops and get some estimates. The dealer generally sends the cars to a body shop anyway and adds their markup. I asked the local dealer which body shop they use and they told me. You get a good shop that way because they are use to fixing Toyotas and their repairs have to be new-car qualitiy.

^^^^

These guys have the right idea. Is it just a dent? or is there any damage on the paint as well?

x2 It to me is not a dent as much as it is a crease. It doesn't seem from the picture that the paint was damaged if it is then its a little.
