Default Scratch Repair

Does anybody know of a good place to get a scratch fixed in Atlanta?

Also, could somebody give me an idea of how much I could expect to pay to have a scratch like this taken off?

I'm attaching a pic, but it's really almost impossible to see the scratch from the pic (bad picture, sorry). Basically, the scratch looks kind of like it came from somebody keying the car. The scratch is about 4 inches long and comes down from the back tail light.

thanks

Haha.

Well I would say it depends on where you are commuting. If you are driving to work in the city everyday, I would say Marietta or Smyrna. Smyrna is closer to the city than Marietta and is a nice place to live. I prefer taking 75 inside the perimeter to 85 (Sugarloaf area).

Alpharetta is prolly a nicer place to live neighborhood-wise but I feel like it would suck going to work everyday from there. It's more upscale than Marietta, in my opinion, but it's quite a ways out of the city. I'm not familiar with East Cobb.

If you are working outside the perimeter, I would definitely go with Alpharetta. Check the city too, though. I live right in the middle of Atlanta and I love it. Houses are more expensive, but the amenities are worth it. Hope that helped.

I have a couple friends who are working at Pricewaterhouse Coopers and that office is located in Midtown. There are a lot of financial jobs in Midtown/Downtown, but there are also financial jobs in Buckhead and Sandysprings. I have a couple friends doing sales in Buckhead. I also had a friend working up in Marietta (he lives Smyrna). He was doing sales.

As for IT jobs, I have another friend working for a firm called Cipher Trust and it deals with computer IT stuff. Their office is located in the Marietta area, I believe. I do not have knowledge about manufacturing jobs, but I would say they are widely available on the fringes of the city.

Atlanta is a good place to find a job, both inside and outside the perimeter. I'd say it mostly comes down to where you want to live. I've lived here for two years and the city seems to be really growing and full of young professionals. It's a great place to meet people too.

no it's not legit. i don't recommend using nail polish remover to fix scratches on your car. he was trying to be funny because i put a big red line over the scratch in my picture--it sort of looked like red nail polish.

i said it worked and showed the picture without the big red line.

The key is how deep the scratch is.

it looks like it's deep enough that it has went through the paint to bare metal and maybe grooved the metal slightly.
