Depends on the scratches and dents if you even need bodywork. Are you talking about door dings and such? If so, PDR it.

Like other people have mentioned, give DTM Autobody in El Monte a call. Lots of people on this board have been saying good things about them. As for price, it's all going to depend on how much prep/fitting time is involved. Plus, sometimes people will quote you different prices based on how busy they are.
