If you have a small ding with no paint damage the repair will be cheap but if there is paint damage $800 - $1,000 sounds typical to me. We had a jerk ding our door, dented and paint damage, and I was quoted $800 for repair. Our other car suffered a small dent over the rear wheel and it cost $850 for the repair. You can't just paint the ding spot and get it to match the rest of the paint, the body man will have to blend the paint over the entire door so you don't see the difference between the new paint and old.
