The availability question, locally
Recency works for you here: most local doors are models still being made. Photograph the label inside the door — end stile or top section — and availability is a five-minute question rather than a gamble.
The second match is cosmetic — sun-aged paint against factory paint. Decide up front whether a close-enough section is acceptable or the door gets repainted as one piece after the repair.
Judge dents by one line — does the crease cross the whole section? If not, it is a cosmetic mark on a working door. If it does, that panel no longer carries its share of the load and should be swapped.
How Stafford compares next door
For context around Stafford: Missouri City's median build year is 1993 at 125 mph design wind; Sugar Land's median build year is 1994 at 125 mph design wind; and Richmond's median build year is 1979 at 125 mph design wind.
Stafford's own figures — 4.9 cycles, median build 1992, 69 ft — are what this page prices against; the neighbouring numbers are why quotes should be local, not metro-wide.

How much does it cost to replace one garage door panel in Stafford?
Fitted, $250–$600 per section in Stafford. Availability decides everything, so the label inside the door gets photographed before anything gets quoted.
Is a dented garage door panel worth fixing?
If it has not creased the full width and the door still runs square, no — it is a mark, not a fault. Save the $250+ until a full-width crease or binding actually appears.
