Surely you can fix this yourself. If you push out the dent it may help to realign the door itself. Garage doors usually run along fixed rails with a bogey wheel attached to either side of the door frame and these locate into the rails. They may be out of line and require some adjustment. It is basically a meccano set. The other type is the spring coil. Again the force of the impact may have misaligned the frame and the springs are contorted. It should be a simple fix unless your daughter is a proficient 'ram raider'. However if you call out the 'experts' be prepared for open wallet surgery!! I would suggest a small physical hump about 2 metres from the door to warn drivers they are close to the garage door. Rubber ones are available at motoring stores. This may prevent a repeat occurrence.
