Default $1000 bill.
Basically what I have been quoted to repair the scratch in the quarter panel.

One estimate will remove and repaint the quarter panel and rear bumper; $923.87

Dealer estimate is $1044..30 to just replace everything with brand new plus the guy has a special place in his heart for Vettes. He owns a C5 and a C6.

Might as well go with the dealer.

Get a look at some completed work at either shop. Stealership might or might not turn out work you will find acceptable. I once worked at one where I would not send my Mom's car for repair even if I did the work.
