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

Any of these suggested body shops do custom interior work like stiching of seats or interior panels?

I went to Monterey Park Autobody today for an estimate. He said $600 for the side. He is a very nice guy. I think im going to fix my door there.

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.
