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, a gap 4,649 feet of elevation widens. Decide up front whether a close-enough section is acceptable or the door gets repainted as one piece after the repair.
A dent that has not creased the section across its full width is cosmetic — the door runs fine with it indefinitely. A full-width crease has lost its rigidity and earns the replacement.
American Fork against its neighbours
The measurements shift town by town: Highland's median build year is 1998; Cedar Hills's median build year is 2002; and Lehi's median build year is 2005.
This page runs on American Fork's numbers (98.5 freeze–thaw cycles, 1990 median build, 4,649 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.
The full panel repair guide
The mechanics are universal even where the climate is not: the national panel repair guide walks the repair itself, the anatomy of a fair quote, and the honest DIY verdict — everything this American Fork page deliberately does not repeat.

How much does it cost to replace one garage door panel in American Fork?
Fitted, $250–$600 per section in American Fork. 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.
