Sharon, that's really not a bad price for getting the whole side done. If I were you, and I knew the body shop has a very good reputation, then I wouldn't try to find a shop that "under cuts" their estimate.
I am surprised they suggested painting all three body panels because your color should be relatively easy to match (not metallic). But I guess they decided why take chances.
I know it's probably no consolation to you now, but just remember the old saying, "What goes around comes around". The little A-Hole coward that did this will someday reap the "rewards" of his deeds, even if his pathetic life isn't bad enough now.

 

this kind of thing just irritates me. i've never had my car keyed, but now people that have, and i just don't get it.

 

Sorry to hear this. You don't need more aggravation right now. Same thing happened to a buddy of mine's Xfire at the Ft Myers airport a couple years ago. He was broken-hearted.

I rarely park where I can't see my car. I've avoided restaurants and pubs because I could not have a view of it. At shopping centers I'll park a couple hundred feet from anyone. But I always come out to find either a) the biggest POS in the lot right next to me or b) a shopping cart nearby, like someone flung it in the direction of my car. If I catch someone messing with baby, they better be one fast m-f so I don't catch them.

 

Sorry to hear about your trouble there. Our car suffered a good size ding at a deli luncheon. The owner of the car that caused the ding paid for the repair fortunately. I was surprised on what a good job these people did. and they repaired it at my wife's work place.
Check the yellow pages for Colors on Parade repair people they do great work and are reasonable. $90 for a quarter size dimple.
Good luck.

PS - The Mecedes Benz Dealer recommended them!!!
