Default Door got dinged! Help

I knew it would happen sooner or later since it is a daily driver, but I was still pissed off. I went to a J.V football game today and parked in the back of the lot with a lot of room between the lines. Well for some reason it got packed fast after I got their. After the game, I talked to some of the players and then went to the vette. I was reaching for the door handle (after un-locking of course) and I saw a ding above it, It's the size of a nickel and is not too deep but I hate it and I was mad. I'm not a fix it myself guy, does anyone know how much this will cost to fix this? because I can't just leave it, it makes the car look cheap. Can someone give me some prices and locations in the metro Detroit area? Thanks for the help.

Steve

Might check with the folks over in the Great Lakes section of the Forum for recommendations for repair shops in your area. Good luck with the repairs!
