what parts of the car are the scratches/ what are you planning to do?

most shops would paitn the entire panel of where the scratch is, but shouldn't take any longer than a week or so...

M1 Autobody does some pretty good work in Elmonte if you're willing to drive:

got a ding that scraped paint of the passenger door, smaller than a dime and scratches on the corner of both front fenders by the head lights...and my grill has a piece of paint comming off. I could use touch up paint pens but i think it will look like crapola...

Are you talking about the car BEING in the shop for 2 weeks or 2 to 3 weeks before they take it in?

Something like what you describe shouldn't be more than 4 to 5 days tops.
