2009 Ford Escape dent repair?
I posted two pictures of my car's passenger side door panel. Today my roommate was getting in and I put the car in reverse and the car moved a little. The door was dug into the ground beside the driveway which is raised. When the car jerked back the door also bent backwards making the outside of the door panel bend when it hit the passenger side front fender. Do any of you guys know how I could go about fixing this or should I leave it to a professional? It doesn't look too bad, but I have terrible OCD and want it fixed pretty badly. Thanks!

A PDR place isn't going to touch that. Too creased, the paint would crack.
You need a body shop.

Probably easiest/cheapest just to find a used door.

Well I figured most people repair their 2009 vehicles and if its in a junk yard it's ****ed beyond repair so it wouldn't have a good door anyway.

Fortunately, vehicles have multiple sides that can be hit, often times leaving the other sides untouched.
Make/model/year have nothing to do with whether or not a car ends up in the junkyard, it's all money for the insurance company.
I didn't even think of a used door, but that's a great idea, and you can more than likely get it paint matched for around $100-200.

Less than $75. The pick-n-pull here lists doors, for any vehicle, at $50.
edit - with hinges. Keep in mind, if you plan on doing this on the cheap, i.e. yourself, you may have to change out the door internals as well. Replacing a door is not a difficult job, but it can be tedious, and it will be time consuming. Just make sure you take your time, and don't force anything, there are a lot of screws tucked away keeping door panels on.
