Best if it goes to a body shop :idea:
Proper repairs would involve changing the damaged panels and could easily cost £2K+

Patching would be cheaper, but you get what you pay for :|

Doors you can change yourself relatively cheaper :wink:

As has been said some pics would show us the extent of the damage. At a good bodyshop a small scrape along the side will be a min of £500 going to upwards of £2000 if both panels need to be replaced.

it would also be good to have some more details, like where you are, and as said some photos,, as if you are not too bothered, then you may be able to patch up the holes with a welded plate, and fill and spray them,,,, depends what you mean by 'big holes' though.
