The little dings could possibly be removed via paintless dent repair. I recommend the Dent Dr. on the corner of Rt. 17 and Victory Blvd (across from Wal-Mart) in Yorktown. Call 757-438-5564 and ask to speak with Jim Sumner Jr.

As for the dent in the 'A' pillar, it would be possible to repair that and not be obligated to repaint a large portion of the car. If it was me, I'd weld on special tacks that a slide hammer attaches to, pull the dent, fill with body filler, refinish and blend into the roof.

Without seeing the dent in the door, it's difficult to pass judgment, but I'd be willing to bet it could be repaired via a similar procedure as the 'A' pillar. Worst case scenario, a door skin would be required and the applicable R&R costs would follow suit.

If I had to estimate an approximate cost for these repairs, I'd say you're looking at $500-$1,000 simply for the amount of blending that's going to be needed into the roof, fender and rear door for both dents.

As for body shops on the southside, I've heard good things about both Phillips Mercedes and Stock or Modified.
