Questions about body shops and repair
Last night one of the waitress, that works for me, decided that the front driver's side of my car needed to be repainted. She tagged it just in front of the wheel but managed to bend the entire finder. I'm not sure how bad it is. The door now rubs when you open it and does not line up in the back at the B-pillar. I guess I'm worried that somehow the door was knocked out of alignment and will never be the same.
There are a few decent body shops here in town but the closest Acura dealership is 45 minutes up the road. Is it worth it to take it to an Acura dealership even?
I want the car fixed right, but is there such a thing as going to far? You can't see it in the pics, but the light and bumper (cover) are scratched (about as wide as my fingernail) . Should they be replaced or would they be buffed out. Should I be worried to much with the paint matching and will it still match 5 years down the road, assuming it take car of the paint by washing, polishing, and waxing?

Any reputable body shop should be able to fix it.
trance is right thought the shop in Big D kicks @$$.
Looks like the door is fine, the fender is what is out of line. If so, the fender replace isn't so bad and the paint should be fine if the body shop is good.
