I’m just trying to find out how to become a dealer/distributor for various types of automotive parts and accessories. can anyone help?
You want to become an "Affiliate" . Look up Automotive Parts
and Accessories Affiliate, this would lead you to some.
Also if you find a parts company or Accessories company you want
to sell, go to the companies website look at the bottom of the site
and see if the word "affiliate" shows, if so go to this. If not email
them and ask them how you can be an affiliate.
Best Wishes

I am a special ed teacher that was recently involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist. I only had liability insurance and can not afford the repairs, just looking for help
Try a High school auto shop, or Technical Trade School. They usually need projects to work on.

Take it to a ‘learning’ shop. Most high schools and local colleges have body shops where they teach students how to repair cars.
They usually charge little more than the cost of any parts needed, and the job is usually far superior to any regular shop. The reason for this is not only do you have the instructor watching, you have all the students watching as well.

This is a spot repair (blow in) on the front of a dodge bumper. This is a metallic blue being blended and partially cleared. The tape on the edges is known in the auto body repair trade as a back mask where the clear is blended on the roll of an edge. This is in no way a top quality repair, it is an economical repair suited best for used car lots and lease return vehicle. I must say they do still hold up pretty well when done properly. The bumper was polished with a coarse compound for the blender to adhere while the rest of the area that was cleared got sanded with 3000 grit paper, except the primer was 600.
This was a scratch originally that was feathered out and primed. For more information check out our website at www.refinishnetwork.com

we are a small company and just starting out.
Two ideas…
Drive around a residential area and look at cars in the driveways. If you see one with damage then estimate the cost to repair it and knock on the door and let the owner know about your business and give them the estimate and a business card.
One body shop in my area that is on a slightly busy street likes to take a car that’s been damaged and put it on display close to the street for a week or so then they repair the car and put it back on display for a week or so that way you can see the quality of the work they do. Usually they do it with cars that look as those they’ve been totalled.

What are the things called that you bolt a car on (front and back) and roll it all the over so you can work on the underside of the car as well as the top side..Who carries these ?
If you don’t want to spend 1000 bucks, you can make your own. Here some guys have done it out of wood: (Which might not be okay for a larger vehicle) http://www.drjing.com/Mini/Images/LiftOff/181_8199.JPG
Also, I’ve seen pics of a guy who made one which was some steel bars welded in kind of a half-octagon around the car, and they could roll the thing from side to side of the octagon.

I accidentally hit Ford Focus maybe 1998 or 2000ish (not sure)
on the right fender (behind the front right wheel). There is a scratch and dent. Dent is around no deeper than 0.5~0.7 cm. The scratch continues a little toward the right front door just a little bit.
I live in UCLA zip code 90024.
It depends on what body shop you go to. Actually that is not a very difficult repair. The body shop can install an aftermarket fender and then paint it to match. I was a used car dealer and could get a good job for maybe $200. If the damage was really minor they could fix the spot with a little bondo and sanding and then spot paint for even less.
However there are lots of retail body shops that love to rip people off particularily if an insurance company is paying. How much would they charge? Maybe $1,000.
