Default Car just got keyed!

Damn Halloween....I just noticed my car got keyed all over the passenger side last night. Luckily the scratches weren't too deep. I took it to a local bodyshop where they quoted me $100.00 for the entire side or $200.00 for the entire car that would include removing swirls and light scratches. Is this a good deal?

Need pics please. How deep is "not too deep"? Can you hang a fingernail in the key marks? If so, you would most likely need a repaint and the $100 the body shop quoted you would probably be for a less than mediocre job.

I don't have a camera right now...but I can barely feel the scratch with my fingernail. I've used the bodyshop before on my 03 Accord and they did a good job. The owner said the scratch wasn't too deep so I guess well see.

Sounds like a killer deal for the price. I just hope for your sake that the scratch will be unnoticeble after their work is performed. It definitely didn't go too deep if they're saying that they can buff it out.
