small paint chips and dent--what to do???

Okay, so I got the Camaro washed and waxed, right. Then, I notice a very small dent on the hood,I would say smaller than a quarter. I also noticed a couple of paint chips on the passenger side door. Now the car is black, which makes these things more noticeable; it is the price you pay for owning a batmobile, I suppose.

So...my question is what can I do? Or, to put it another way, to whom can I bring it for fixing? I live in Long Island, not far from Queens -- Does anybody have any particular recommendations for shops in the area? I called up a chevy dealership in Freeport, NY and they recommended R and U Auto Body in Merrick, NY. What is involved with repairing small dents and paint chips. Keep in mind, the car was just washed and waxed as of earlier today. I don't know how that affects paint chips and dents, since I want to get this resolved as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you very much. Sounds excellent. Just have to find some recommended body shops in the area.

Nah, not one close to me, sorry. I'm going to this place called AutoMat Customization and Restoration. They have a good reputation.
