I got more than one battle scar doing some offroading this past weekend. One of the issues is the passenger side rocker panel got pinched pretty hard (rock rails took a bit of scratches, but that I can live with, the rocker panel not so much).

And yes, the fender flare is busted up a bit, too. The forwardmost latch is gone and the plastic bent. Already have replacements for both the rock rails and flares, so all I need is the rocker panel fixed up. In checking the door, the pinch didn't actually get the door aside from a surface scratch. And looking, the width where it's bowed with the pinch in the middle is about a foot of length. And the black streak mark to the lower left of the decals was just dirt. Its already been removed since I took this pic this morning.
Anyone know a good place in the Charlotte metro that can repair the rocker panel w/o being ridiculous in price and actually willing to do the work? The place I took it to this morning said "cant be repaired" which I doubt. Worst case I have a friend willing to cut out where it's bent and weld in new aluminum, but I'd prefer a professional do the work end-to-end.
Any recommendations welcome.
