This dent and scratch is annoying me. I know it happened when I was at Target. Quite possible that it was a shopping cart or something. As you can see it's about the size of a dime but it's bordering on the body line. It's on the rear right door. Can anybody recommend a good body shop in Los Angeles county? I could drive further if the recommended shop has excellent feedback. How much should this thing cost to fix?

I'm tempted to pull the trim from the inside and see if I can do it myself. If anybody has a link to a DIY showing how to take the trim off that would be awesome!

these guys might be able to fix it:
http://www.amazingbumper.com/ (mobile pdr service I've used)
***as stated, a PDR service might be able to get it done...if you don't want to go with that pdr service I linked, ask your local dealer who they use for PDR service's...is the M shop still in eagle rock? if so, I'm sure they can recommend a good shop local to you...
