New scratch, help!!

So I got this scratch. It's tiny with a little tiny dent in it. The local collision center says it would be around $600-$800 dollars to fix.. Wtf!! What do I do?? That seems way too high for this:

That looks like it down to the prime coat. By the pictures the top and side of the fender has to be sanded down and repainted. No easy fix. $600 to $800 is about right.

OUCH!

I'd have to agree with Caddyroger, you might be able to save a little money if you shop around but remember:

good work ain't cheap, and cheap work ain't good!
