Scratch from a parking lot - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, I am parked at work and someone parks next to me, backs out and scraps my driver's side rear quarter panel on the way out. They left a 3 inch by 1 inch scratch that went through the clear coat down to the fiberglass. No dent jsut scratched. REDICULOUS that someone would not leave their name or contact info after they damage someone's car.

Question. Would you recommend the dealer or a regular body shop for the repairs? Any other recommendations.

Thanks

By the way: I have had the car 5 days!!!

Try a professional detailer, they may be able to buff it out if it is light.
Did it scratch white?
