Hello,

A few weeks ago, my left power window spit up a screw and now the window is stuck. The motor grinds away and the window won’t budget. Would a regular auto mechanic be able to fix this or do I need to go to a body person?

“my left power window spit up a screw”

I’ll assume that your window regulator has failed

A “regular auto mechanic” can fix your car. Door panels are pretty easy to remove and any competent mechanic should be able to help you out.
