Well, hubby caused a nice long scratch while backing into the garage (and I always thought he drove better backwards) Can anyone recommend one of those mobile scratch and dent companies, or at least a place to have it fixed?

I'm looking for a place as well. Same reason, the side
Of the garage must have moved....
Down to the primer (and past on the door handle).
Got an estimate of $915 but I think it's a little high.
Don't want to replace a panel or use insurance.
Thanks.

Side door for me
If insurance does it, they replace the panel
But it's more expensive.
Mine involves 2 doors on the passenger side.
I can't believe I did this.....all those horrible
Drivers and I hit my own garage!!!!

Check craigslist. Input dent removal. These are the guys that are mobile and go to the dealers. Changing panels can be a bad idea since vin numbers are involved. Saturn's are the easiest. Unscrew panel and replace because it's plastic.

2 doors 915 may be about right... what color and is it a pearl. If it's red, that's not terrible.

Any color can be pearled. Adds another coat but I don't think a Corolla has a pearl coat. It could be a nice metallic... if it's super straight, you can do striping over the scratch. Or you could paint the whole car for about the same at Maaco. In Cleveland, Maaco did a great job.
