Default Is this an easy fix?

I hit a curb the other day Dont know what to do to start fixing it.. Will a body shop or a collision shop be able to fix this up?

its not that bad

I had this on a Mercedes clk cabriolet, a friend who does bodywork charged me £250 and took him a day.
Drilled, pulled and fibreglassed. Perfect finish and im fussy .

The paint on that rocker panel is different than regular body paint. Over here some call it 'chip coat' paint. It's more durable (rubberized) to repel rocks. Make sure they spray it on thick.
Also, make sure that seam gets filled not just painted over to keep water out.
