Just be aware that for every "panel beater" who has the talent to properly repair that, there are probably at least 50 who will... bang the edges in, grind the paint off, slap a half inch of bondo on it, sand it smooth, and paint it. You'll likely be none the wiser by looking at it. Doesn't...

I used to run a body shop. This is not a simple push out. The upper portion of the impact appears to be right below a body line at the panel top that seriously creased the upper panel line and moved it.
