Default Looking for 3-d printing help

Okay, so I have my micro 55' willys body, i'm looking to have a file made of the body, re-sized to 1/10 scale to bring to my local 3-d print shop and have them 3-d print a 1/10 scale willys body. But i'm having a hell of a time trying to find someone able to scan my micro body into a file that the 3-d printer can use. This is a first for me and I have no idea what i'm doing. Was wondering if anyone with experience with this kind of stuff could point me in the right direction.

It's really common for a print shop to also have a scanner. I know the shops up here have their own scanners, and therefore offer the full package, and scale up is no problem either. You may have a scanner locally to you... and maybe at this print shop.

I found a couple of people who can do it, But at 500.00-1,000.00 just to scan it, it's not worth it. I expected it to be a bit, just not that much.
