The front valance is loose on my SUV and bodyshop wants 2K to fix it?

I was leaving a parking lot and they had a small rope they forgot to take down in the parking lot so I grazed the rope and part of my front valance is now loose.

I went to the body shop and they wanted 2G's to repair it. I was like WHAT?

I saw others can basically retighten the front valance back to my bumper for about $200.

Should I just go with the $200 option?

Again the bumper seems fine, the car seems fine it's just the front valance came loose a bit. I dont see why I have to pay 2K for it seeing that it's just loose and its just the rubber guard basically and not my actual bumper.
