I'm absolutely gutted, yesterday I completely misjudged the space needed to get into a tight parking space and scraped the side of my car on a pillar. There's one quite deep scrape and a good few scratches now. I've been driving for three months
How much do you guys think it would cost to repair? Could this be done at the local Kwikfit?
What happens if I don't get it fixed? Will it rust and spread? I don't know much about car maintenance unfortunately.
All help appreciated.
For some reason the image has attached the wrong way up, it should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise...

They will rip you off, tr. Look for a local body shop or mobile body repair. -

Wow, that's insane! You could get another car for that price. -

what car is it?
Do you have electric windows/mirrors?
sometimes it might be cheaper to find a correct colour matched door in a scrapyard and swap them over.
It isn't hard to do but maybe not a DIY task if you can't assemble a flatpack. -
