Thanks for the responses. Dropping my car off to the body shop next Monday. Got a recommendation from a co-worker on the shop so hopefully it will go well.
As for the future - I'm going to start renting a car the times I go down to my sister's area.
I'm down that way twice each month for visitation with my daughter.
Stupid that I have to resort to this, but it'll protect my own car and also keep the mileage down (she lives 90 miles away).
