Fix it or leave it?

Hi all,
Recently, I dropped my MacBook Pro and it landed on a hex nut - now there’s a ding and a dent on the bottom case. How much would you estimate it would be for Apple to repair it? What about an authorized or other repair shop?

Thanks!

It will "cost you the cost" of a new bottom cover.
I'd figure $175-200 or so.

Look on ebay for the part, short of that just live with it

If it qualifies for the warranty keyboard replacement; Apple may not do the warranty work if it has been physically damaged.

Open it, try to push back the dent, live with it, you MacBook now has some personal character!
