Macbook Pro got dent.

Question

Hey, I am using a Late 2011 15" Macbook Pro.
The weird thing is, my cupboard is built in the walls so it has a hard surface at the end.
My sister kept my macbook inside and it accidently hit hard at end of the cupboard.
Luckily I don't have any damage to my hardware. The damage is only on the aluminium body. Does apple have repairs for such damage?
I know this is a physical damage and will not be covered it warranty. I am ready to pay for what it cost. I stay at Mumbai City India.
I did call the apple store near by the said they have third party section which repairs such problem. I really doubt on third party, ( a fear that some of my parts might get stolen and replaced with cheap ones )
What should I do ?
There is no official repairs from apple ?

i feel your pain - had a new macbook years ago and my niece dropped here digital camera on it.  nice sized dent on top of the screen - since it was too expensive to get it fixed - i ended up buying a nice skin/case for it so I don't see the dent anymore - it did perform fine and in the end - i gave it to my niece after i've used it for years and bought a new Macbook.
You can buy yourself a nice case or skin for your Macbook if you wish to do so, or spend the $100 to $150 to get it fixed.  I would however, if i was in your shoes, I'd go for a nice skin from iSkin and cover up the dent instead.
it's always good to talk about it - espcially to a stranger - kinda helps calm you down - don't you agree?
I know it's an expensive investment - keep in mind however, it's still a piece of equipment that is replaceable - don't get too attached to it - it'll just get you frustrated.....
Good luck
