I don't know your area, so I can't advise on shops. But I can tell you that you're going to be looking at some serious bills. A quarter panel is not like a front fender, where you just unbolt it and bolt on a new one. If the panel can be banged out and filled, then you may get off with a $1000 to $1500 bill, but if it's badly crinkled such that body hammers can't get it reasonably smooth, then it will have to be cut out and a new panel welded in. Figure on $3000 to start. Don't be surprised if a qualified shop tells you much more.

Good luck with this.
