Some Jerk backed into my mom's car... Where is a good place to get dent removed?
In the Los Angeles area, where would be a good place to get this dent out? Are there any good places that have dentless paint removal? With good, I mean reasonable prices, and do nice body work. There are some skuff marks but i think they'll be able to buff out.
you can see the skuff marks best in this picture
anyway, any recommendations with past experiences for body shops would be great!

It looks like they cracked the paint. They can put it back to normal but the paint might be fucked up and cracked. Straight metal but bad paint...

You could try to get someone to PDR(Paintless Dent Repair) it, although the paint does look damaged.

I hope you mean those guys that go around in parking lots or whatnot and try to fix your car....i would describe that more than just say 'find a mexican and get him to fix your car'
I heard theywere pretty shady too and they don't really do good work...

it's a classic scam in socal, they take apart all your craps and tell you to pay them extra for whatever reasons they want
if you looking for a cheaper solution, try to talk to a guy working at some quality shop ask them for a side job at the weekend or something. of course dont let the boss know or you'll get the guy fired..

The paint will crack and pop off, especially where the "corners" of the dent are.
Still though, I'd go that route and hope for the best, and have a bottle of touchup paint handy.
