This morning on my way to work someone decided to try and squeeze by my car and scraped the poo poo out of it before topping it off by driving away I'm not a car person, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as far as what I need to do next. Looks like it scratched past paint and my tail light cover is busted at the bottom but still intact Can I fix this myself? Is it worth it to do so? If so what should I buy and what are the steps? Should I take it to someone? How much am I looking at? Thanks, this isn't exactly what I wanted to deal with today https://ibb.co/M5p7w4M https://ibb.co/Jm3nfLd https://ibb.co/qx2M0xj Edit: in Massachusetts if that makes any difference. Definitely explains the other driver

Love to learn a bit more, but the resolution for everyone popping in: I took it in to a body shop pretty quickly. Got a good recommendation, and he seemed like a really honest and decent crotchety old repair guy. The main expense was the tail light that was broken. I drive a 2018 Hyundai Elantra, and those tail lights range from $200-600 or so. I had the least expensive version. He fixed the tail light for $350, but also buffed the damage and gave me a matching coat of paint on top as well for free End result is here: https://ibb.co/dtVN1tS Said it would be about $1000 to get it perfect again, but he didn't recommend it. Would have had to take the bumper off. Can add more close ups if anyone wants to see, you can definitely make out the scratch marks still but it blends in to the car if you're not looking closely. All plastic so no worry about potential rust
