This afternoon, as my wife was driving our near flawless 2012 GMC Terrain through a parking lot, an elderly woman backed out of a parking space in her Honda Odyssey and firmly planted the left corner of her rear bumper squarely into the sheet metal of the right side rear door. :wall

The paint is Carbon Black Metallic. If you aren't familiar with these vehicles, the sides are billboard-like with very few lines to break up the sheet metal. Up till today, we didn't even have a ding in the sheet metal. :wall :wall

I'm in Macedonia, which is near Twinsburg & about half way between Cleveland & Akron. I've only been out here a few years (moving in from an adjoining state) & have no knowledge of the body shops in the area. If anyone can recommend someone or let me know who has a reputation for good work I would appreciate it. I'm worried about the door gaps lining up properly - it was hit in the lower front corner (near the rear of the front door) & the upper rear corner sticks out a good 3/8" - &, of course, the metallic paint match.

Thanks - now please excuse while I go be sick to my stomach again...:puke: ]]> Midwest USA Kevinch http://www.autopia.org/forum/midwest-usa/144849-help-cleveland-akron-ohio.html
