How fixable is this?

Hi! I’ve never had to have body work done to a car so this is a first for me. I backed into a mailbox (don’t wanna talk about it LOL) and while there’s clearly black paint from the mailbox in the scratch it’s also kind of deep and I just can’t imagine how or if that is fixable. Any feedback on viability or neighborhood of how bad it would be to fix would be super helpful!!!

I have a 2010 Chevy Avalanche Ls and my left turn signal won't work, replaced bulbs, checked wires but I can only see so much. Any Idea Fuse isn't blown either. 3 years and not one shop can figure it out. Any suggestions? Brake light won't work either on left. Running late ghts Do though.

Need help no mechanic can figure this out.

Car Bumper cover repair

Hi all! I have been working on fixing a 2020 Hyundai Veloster I picked up cheep a while back. Now that I got all the mechanical sorted and had my fun, I realized I do care about fixing the body damage as I’m going to resell it. I wanted to reach out and see what my diy options would be so I can learn! So, shoot me your best ideas, and I know worst case I get a new bumper cover and have a pro paint it!

Along with the bumper, a few chips with surface rust, which I’m guessing some sanding, rust removal, maybe a little skim bondo coat and painting would fix, but also throw your knowledge at me.

Thanks in advance!

Hit a pole

How would I fix this in the most costeffective way? Or DIY? I banged into a pole I do not see. This is a ford explorer.

Any way to buff this?

some old guy decided to merge into my lane before checking his blind spot, I managed to avoid him but he nicked my side mirror and now I have this stuff on it. Any way to get rid of it?
