Body repair works

I have a vw polo that needs dents removed on the front drivers wheel arch and the rear passenger side in front of the lights. Someone told me itd cost about 800 to fix them, is that about right? Can someone give me a rough idea of cost if that other one is not correct - all roughly I appreciate...

    Let's see a pic of how bad the damage is.

    If it needs paint, it doesn't sound unreasonable at all.

    Do the dents need fixing? Are they minor and a cosmetic irk to you?

    A PDR specialist should be able to get those dents out for around £90 per dent but they won't fix any paint damage.

    Dents on swage lines are more difficult to pull out than in flatter areas.  If it were my own car, I wouldn't bother with trying a PDR and get sit done properly at a bodyshop.  You'd have to go to a bodyshop anyway as the paint has been broken in the second picture.
