Random freaking question about auto body work

[adymond]

Okay, here's the. I got sideswiped today in the parking garage at work. I ended up not seeing the damage until I had left work. It was on the passanger side and I approached from the driver's side. I don't think it is worth making a police report or filing with my insurance because it is only really surface damage to the paint. I think it can be buffed out and touched up. Anyone on here do body work in SE PA? I'd rather work with one of you than a random autobody shop. Or do any of you know a good shop in this area. I'm really pissed cause there was nothing left with my car. I think it was a big work truck or van that caught me. It looks like it hit my side mirror and just scratched all the way from the front quarter panel to the rear quarter panel. I'd post pics if anyone can give me a really rough guess as to how much it might cost to buff something like that our and touch up the paint.

That just plain sucks. I would bet its another instance of the other guy not having insurance.

That DOES suck. People just don't respect others' property these days. My "baby" is a BMW 530i Dinan and I go out of my way to protect it from others but even so, I've had my share of scratches and door dings from a-holes.

Not exactly close to you, but my next door neighbor runs the shop at Brandywine Coach Works in West Chester. They do FANTASTIC work and I highly recommend them.
