Mobile dent/bumper repair recommendations

Has anyone ever gone through a mobile body repair service, like some of the companies that advertise on craigslist? I got pwn3d by the mother of all driveways last night and scratched the lower front portion of my bumper to hell. The work might not be of the same caliber as some of the more reputable body shops but that's understandable and maybe I can save a good chunk of cash in the process.

I do sidework at an auto body shop in Palo Alto and have done a few cars here for people.

I can pull off your front bumper, sand/fill the curb damage, do all the right prep work, 3 coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear for $400.

Here's my thread of work done:

Try giving Aerocolours a call. They do airbrush of bumper scuffs. I recall having it done once when I lived in Sac for $125 for an entire bumper and I brought the car to them. The last time I called down here, it seems that since it's a franchise, everyone can charge a different price and I've gotten quotes up to $400 too. However, they do a good job and it's pretty impressive. Look them up on Google.

I looked into StupidDent but I'm not sure if he would be able to help me out since I can see the black plastic of the bumper. There is also a small crack underneath as well.
